I guess I didn't explain myself very well. I wasn't looking for help (but thanks for the offers!) - I figured it all out. I was just looking for anyone who had done it since I thought it strange that I found no one on the internet in the whole world who had done it. I also wanted to discuss with anyone who had done it their experience with all the errors in cutting instructions and assembly directions. It was quite full of errors.
I finished the top today; I need to add borders but I'll take a pic soon and post it. It looks really nice, I think. I might donate it or find a friend who wants it.
