Thanks for the complements! And I owe many of you thanks for giving me your input months ago as I figured out how I was going to design it! I feel this sense of loss with it done, though... guess I better get started on a new project!
I got that center panel and about 8 yards of the matching fabric at a yard sale for $5 DH couldn't believe I paid that much for it until I unfolded it. Now I have an idea what to make from it.
