Thanks for everyone's help.
*giggles* ... you couldn't wait!! :)
It looks right ... what you want is to make sure that the exact same point you start/end with is the same.
I would have squared up the start with the edge of that pear, as it's a good marker, and then gone straight thru to the next pear.
Now, lay that first piece ontop of the fabric length, matching it across the width of the fabric. Then with your ruler, carefully cut on the exact same line.
Then set aside piece #2, and do the same for #3, and the rest.
Glad you aren't waiting!
You'll soon discover how fast it works up ... and then you're hooked!! :)
