I...I love the piece and the blue fireworks fabric. If it were mine, I would consider it finished.<br />I usually pull up the bobbin thread in the beginning, tie off, and use a cheater needle to bury the ends and then the same at the end of the run. UNLESS, it is for a baby or child, then I back stitch it to make sure it lasts thru the 1000's of washings!<br />Have a great holiday Stephanie! <br />BTW, my little Mouse just started crawling finally and will be walking very soon! We will have to batten down the hatches around here!
