more progress... I've been camping with the kids so only worked on it while it was raining, or at night... nearly at the right width, got to add a few more inches ... And now that I have this strip, the fabrics have kinda told me where they want to go next... so I'll leave that as a surprise :)
hubby is 6-ft tall, so I left the picture sideways to get the right effect.
