    1. Thank you Annette! I agree it is a delicate look to the design. It is sized, the design not including the banding, to be 2 inches across and 5 inches in length. :)

    1. Thank you AD! I did look for more separately to stitch a second one as a gift, but may have to use a different banding. Happy Stitching! :)
