The way this swap work to help with postage costs and time. We both bought a panel for the other person and continued to work on it without the person knowing what we bought. It was to be a total surprise.
The only rules were ... put to 3 borders and none of which are to be larger than 8” wide.
Well on my recent trip I bought the panel I wanted to use and some fabrics
Pulled some extra fabrics
I started cutting and sewing squares together
And had a play with some delectable mountain blocks.
Got this all sewn up and then it was on to the borders.
Had a play with the corners
And finished up with this.
I am so happy with the results
I posted if on to the USA and it has been received.
This was the message I got.

No wonder Candis loved it. You really have done a fantastic job of enhancing the panel with your borders. I like your idea of just swapping a flimsy. Very practical.
