Henry, love the fabric you used, does it have a shimmer to it?
Before discovering the world of quilting, I always got my sewing kicks from doing curtains and household stuff, one tip I will share with you is to do the hems first, ironing the seam allowance before sewing, then if you have any discrepancies on the length it tucks under the header tape...(ask me how I learnt to do that :wink: )

the design on it gives it the shimmer. And before anyone asks I bought it with this design already on it.
