Oh that does look fantastic, Rubywishes.
I love the pattern and the colours are perfect for the setting.

Wow, wow and wow!  That is just stunning.
Are you now a convert to FPP?
Life's too short for ironing.

That's beautiful.  <3

I don't generally go for browns, but I love the fabrics you've used...and, yes. It suits its setting perfectly.

Oh yes @Ploshkin I'm definately a convert and already planning the purchase of the next pattern....a set of table runners also by Judy Niemeyer.

@Sandra the fabrics were a kit I bought so I had no choice in them. I had gone into a LQS to buy all my fabrics and was looking through all the batiks (my favourite) and thinking about "earth" colours when a saleswoman noticing the pattern in my hand told me they had some kits for that pattern leftover from a class years ago...would I be interested in one of them? I saw the earth coloured kit and thought...bingo...that'll do nicely. On reflection, I'd like a little bit of extra colour in it perhaps......maybe some red...but meh....I'll live with it! :)

Thankyou everyone for your lovely comments.
