Welcome Shirley and great job getting the fabric! Looking forward to seeing some pics. My own progress BTW is that I've sewn the pairs of the last two strips, just got to make them into the halves. Then I can start the fun part - playing with the layout! BTW your 3.5 yards is plenty - it has a 12" repeat and you'll need 6 so you'll have a yard and a half spare to maybe use in the borders. :-D
