The last stitch was taken and knotted at 6 pm yesterday evening.
And here they are from the inside.
I thought I shaped the seam allowances so all the ends would have been tucked under the binding, like they are along the top edge, but clearly I wasn't as precise as I should have been. But I do like the converging stitch lines on the center panel. I'll lace it up an photograph it on this weekend. In the meantime, the statistics.
2/3 yard - cotton Toile
2/3 yard - lightweight denim
2/3 yard - cotton batiste
3 1/2 spools - thread
32 - 3/16" grommets
15 2/3 yards - 2.5mm basket reed
10 2/3 yards - 1" bias trim
7 yards - 1/4" cotton satin ribbon
number of seams picked out - 6
