I used lime green embroidery thread to stitch around the limes and around the edges. It makes a nice place to sit my soda when I'm on the computer or sewing. I can almost fool myself into thinking I'm having a margarita. (My drinking and sewing days are over ever since I sliced my left index finger into two pulpy halves with my rotary cutter whilst imbibing a Mike's Hard Lemonade. 
First I stuck my finger in my mouth, then I pulled it out and looked at it, almost fainted, ran to the kitchen sink and put it under running water. Then I looked at it again. Almost fainted again. I jumped around on one foot and hollered and screamed and said many bad words. I wrapped it in a paper towel and sat on the edge of the tub thinking I really should go to the emergency room and get stitches, but the thought of going out in the middle of the night and sitting in the emergency room for several hours was totally repulsive. I finally called a friend I have who is a phd in Chemistry and whose husband works for a drug company (thats as close as my friends get to medical personnel). They said put a bandaid on it and if it quits bleeding within 30 minutes, I probably didn't have to go to the emergency room. That was good enough for me. I put that bandaid on and went to bed. It's been 4 months and I still don't have feeling back in the edge of that finger, but it's beginning to tingle, so I think the nerves are growing back. That's my testimonial to why you should never drink and sew.)Please note that the back is all one fabric. I was able to control my urge to piece different colors seeing as the thing is only about 4 inches by 5 1/2 inches.
