Thank you for you replies. When I get this made I will piece the top, line it with muslin and use a detached vinyl liner. I have been looking around for fabric. Want to make it a two-color top, at least that is what I have in mind right now. LOL
We are using "coastal" decor so I am trying to pick out a pattern which would go along with that theme. So much to do but so little time to accomplish it. I can't drag out the fabrics, sewing machine, etc right now because most of my things are packed ready for the move at the end of the month. Going through withdrawal here! I think I need therapy!
