Shirring from thrift-store pillow sham.

I salvaged the shirring and some fabric from a fancy, thrift-store pillow sham and used it to trim out this block... The block was from an old round robin (seams only) from 4-5 years ago.. I did a lot of fine tuning on it last summer and finally got it finished in style.. I'll hang it in the needlework shop... I think it turned out great. Some of the fancy pillow shams at the thrift store have lovely fabrics and trims..
