Inch by Inch...

Like many wives, I got some sewing done during the SuperBowl last night. The kids were up for part of it, but after they went to bed, I made a run for my sewing machine!  I am almost finished with the top of the Dogwood Trails Twin.
I put it on my son's twin bed to check it. I thought I'd have enough fabric to go all around the edge but I don't so I was trying to figure out if I needed it more on the sides or the top/bottom. I'm thinking the top/bottom.
I think it's going to have plenty of drop on the sides now but it almost looks a little short top to bottom. I've got it even with the edge of the bed at the top, and there is about 4 inches drop on the bottom end. Yup. It needs more there. So all I have left is to make a strip for the top and a strip for the bottom, sew them on and done is done! Well, except for the back...and the batting,...and the quilting,...and the binding. Sigh.....

It is looking great. Not too much more to go. Keep at it. It will be finished before you know it.
