QAL #2 POST

I have now added the sashings and the border and I am pleased , I have never made a Christmas project that did not have red or green so this was a wee bit challenging to do , however I do love a challenge now and then ;-) Want to see the gray??

 There you have it , a grey sashings with a grey border and  with a narrow border done in a silver grey . I had intended for the lighter grey to be used as sashings but it got washed out so this way it works better I think . What do you think ? Here is a close up of those borders.
I really love that inner border fabric . So that is it for me today as I have some errands to do to prepare for Thanksgiving this weekend . Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians , may you enjoy a wonderful time with your family . Thanks again for the visit and I will be back soon.
 Hugs Sheila

    I love the colours. Have a couple of Christmas swaps and the recipients don't use red and green so seeing this has helped me to decide what to do. Hugs.....

    It's absolutely perfect!! I love it all together, Sheila. It's more 'wintery' than Christmassy, so you can leave it out longer!!

    I think your fabrics looks lovely, and the Christmas don't have to be that traditional. Lovely table runner.

    I like the gray fabric and the blocks that you're using. I bet it's rather fun to use non-traditional fabrics as a change.
