Favorite Fabrics: Your "semi-educated" guess sure sounds good to me! It makes sense and I love the picture you posted, which really helps me to see what you are talking about. Thank you for the explanation! I still think the people at Joanns are boobs for not selling the entire tree skirt, or at least warning their customers that they are only buying half a skirt, but it is Joanns so I don't expect a whole lot from them. (I know, it's a sad thing to say.)
