I think I want to make one cushion from the two pieces, so I need to size them up. Putting wider borders on the smaller piece and a narrower border on the larger piece, but a definite border on each.<br \/>\nI already had a piece of plain red, but it was a little too dark, not a good crimson like the gingham; having put so much effort onto the embroidery I didn&#8217;t want to use the wrong red for the borders, it would niggle me, forever.<br \/>\nSo off we went to my local fabric shop hoping but not expecting to find a good match&#8230; I was in luck, not only did I find a fine crimson 100% cotton fabric which was an excellent match, I also found a bolt of 100% cotton blue and white gingham \u00a32.99 a metre in the sale, I bought the lot, \u00a315 for 5m of fabric, bargain!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2112\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-IMG_6193.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2112\" alt=\"see the border fabric to the left\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-IMG_6193.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-IMG_6193.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-IMG_6193-300x206.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-IMG_6193-150x103.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.mycrosspatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/1-IMG_6193-600x412.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">see the border fabric to the left<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That morning we had planned to go to the Lake District, on a recce to find  suitable holiday accommodation , but we opened the curtains to sunshine and hailstones&#8230;big icy chips of frozen rain, so the trip was off.
