Thanks for the instructions! (I think) It's probably going to haunt me
for a while.

Thank you for the wonderful words ... I'm still smiling today.

Roberta, the strips are ripped mostly. Some are cut because the fabric didn't want to rip or the piece was wonky and I needed to use it anyway or whatever. I ironed the ripped ones and most of the cut ones and then wove them together on a base piece of fabric. Lots of pins and basting to hold everything down as I went. Once a large area was done, I would carry it all carefully to the machine and start stitching. Every vertical strip is stitched on both sides, and so are 90 percent of the horizontal strips. There are other strips that I added to the top once I saw the whole background and realized that it needed color in certain places. I'd say at least 75 percent of the strips are linen, some new and some vintage from garments and table linens and the like. The rest of the strips are a mix of new and old things from my stash. The bottom is all from my stash, drawn on freezer paper, cut out and then fused to a base and then stitched to secure. The body of the thing has at least 4
layers of fabric. No batting except where I used it behind the ribbon and on the bottom part to give 'lift.' It's really heavy, got hard to work with by the end. But it's been wonderful.

That is just so beautiful, I'm lost for words. Is the bottom part all
appliqued? Wow is all I can think of to say.
