I have a top I started almost 40 years ago, (1973), with scraps from clothes I made for myself, 2 DDs, 1DS.DH, and Mother. I saw one and no one taught me so my cardboard hexegon kept getting bigger as 1 wore out and I made new ones. I put a bright yellow path to match the center of the flowers. Now I think it is ugly and you know it is wonky. My daughter thinks I should throw it away! hand pieced of course.
