I got an unexpected surprise when I put the tablecloth on our dining room table to take progressive pictures of the embroidery. It extended way over both ends of the table even with all of its leaves intact. It was actually laying down on the floor.
Pete says the material I purchased for the cloth was at the end of a bolt of material, so he assumes that I accidentally got more yardage than originally figured out because they did not measure it all? Don’t know how, but there is a lot more length than I had planned. Didn’t know I was working on two tablecloths all this time, but, it sure did seem awfully long whenever I bunched it up to put on my lap.
This is now going to be cut into two tablecloths, and a shorter one (60″ square), which is what I have been sharing blog posts with you about it is a gift tablecloth for my daughter-in-law. It needs to be done first. After I cut this big guy into two, then I need to add hummingbirds and foliage to both of the new end edges to be able to finish both tablecloths.
I plan on keeping the full-length second tablecloth for myself (dimensions?). I will share the larger tablecloth progress images later on.
