If I have time left she wants me to make a 8ft table runner for the main table.

that is a lot of work and for that kind of money I would not use premade bias tape on them..too many seams and they are not always color fast...I would make my own to make sure it matches!

Wow, I would like to see the fabric, do you have any pictures? What pattern, all the same or all different. The price sounds great! I agree, start now!

I'm sure you'll be happy to do it for her ... of course I hope the pattern isn't outlandishly difficult. They aren't going to be all king size are they?

Be sure to post photos as you progress along please.
