D'oh! You are right, the silk I found is 54" wide, not sure why I didn't look at that before. I was able to find 118" polyester satin, they just don't have the silver (had planned on using this for the back). Hmmm, more research. If I have to piece the top, what would be the "cleanest" way to do it?
Hmmm, just had an idea, using triangles to piece it, with them meeting in the center, might work, depending on several things.
