Here’s the fire top to date:

I sewed sections together this morning but was waiting for my new fabric to arrive to see if one of the pieces I ordered might work for the pond. It got here after lunch and I think it might work!

In the meantime I decided to prepare my entry for “Celebrate Spring” since I was able to pick “Colorado Kids” up yesterday. Alas, it is 2″ too small!!  So perhaps I DO have a trend developing for my 2011 entries!  I made it plenty big but remember I decided to lop off some cliff at the top for a more pleasing look at the time, loosing sight of the 40″ measurement that I need for most contests.

I have not given up yet. I may look into adding a bit at the bottom but time is becoming a factor!
