Looking forward to your seeing your top.
I finished the strips I had. It made a top 78" horizontal strips by 60" long, so I've bought another set each of Dragonfly Pops and Rock Pops - I think the equivalent of Jelly Rolls. The fabric wasn't supposed to be printed until August, but arrived yesterday, so I got them before they disappeared. The red looks great in it - will try to photo and send. I'll make another whole set, add strips to get 100" length - with the borders that will make a good queen size.and use the last 78" x 20" for 3 or 4 pillow shams. I hadn't intended it to become such a big project, but since it's started, might as well go with it ....this is NOT going to become another UFO!!
