Thanks, no I didn't. That's down near the coast, isn't it?

Ibex, if you are going to make the Cotton Blossom's row, I need to tell you some things about it. The instructions are very incomplete. They only give the length of the pieces, not the width.
1) All sky strips are 2.5" wide by 36.5" long... then you wavy cut them, all but the very top one.
2) The ground piece (brown) needs to be 4" x 36.5" long. If you got the kit, you need to trim the brown 5" wide strip they give you down to 4". Don't waste your time covering 5" with cotton bolls and then have to cut it down when you realize it's too wide, like I did.
3) No help is given in determining how much to overlap your sky strips or how wide the sky should end up. With your ground 4" wide, then the 1/2" black strip at the horizon, that leaves you only 5.5" for sky, for everything to end up 9.5" wide when sewn together.

Good luck! Are you posting your rows as you get them done?
