I had to comment, that the roll of fabric doesn't necessarily "play well" with other fabrics. Plus, it wasn't an even 2 1/4". I found that out after I sewed it up. Sometimes it is 2.5". Which means, that I had to go back and trim up all the squares. I've sewn most of the strips together and hope to get the top together tomorrow--at least the rail part (it's 9:19 pm here)
