an "A" for effort definately! I didn't even let him see how hard I was working to get it to work. I don't want to discourage him! I may have enough of the outer border to add to the backing - maybe. THink I'll go look first and see if there is a flat sheet. Don't know why the fitted one scanned for $2, but if there is a flat one and it scans the same it's MINE!
