    Well, You have not said what is finished. Is it just the top? That is what it looks like to me and if so then you will need to put a back on it unless you want others to see the seams on the back and I could go on and on here but tell us how it is that you want it to look so we know how to help. And I will try to help if you still want it. Juju

    Is it going to be used as a quilt or to cover a bookshelf?? We need more details in order to help you.

    Grace,
    Since you want to make a curtain I would line my backing with a light weight fusible its too late to iron it to your top Then I would make a sleve top the size of my curtain rod and attatch it to the top of my quilt so that it hung straight from the rod down.you could attach it when you sew your top and backing on..I don't know if you already added a border but you could aldo do that...you could also add some drapery wts in the corners at the bottom of your top. I really am not good explaining LOL hope you get the general idea.

    It is going to be a curtain over a bookcase to keep people out of it.. I am going to sew a brown fabric to the back and make a casing.. should be easy... I like the weight idea.. Thanks red grace

    You could make a bookcase cover out of it. Like a giant pillowcase. make it so the top covers the top and the back and sides fit over the bookcase. Make the back and side the same length as the front of course but the part tha would go over the top of the bookcase would be the 8", 9" 12" width of the deepness of the bookcase. That way no one could look in unless they took the whole thing off.

    (I'm serious)

    Maybe the term slipcover would be more accurate than pillowcase!!

    Grace,
    That turned out GREAT! I just love the apple and the rubber ducky too. Clever idea to make it to cover a bookcase. Good thinking. I like!

    I can't believe you got that done already!!!! What a wiz you are!! lol. It turned out fantastic! Did you do the book labels on the printer?

    Grace, your idea to finish it sounds good. They sell a very thin curtain rod that sits on a clip, instead of a bracket that sticks out. The clip allows the rod to sit up against your item. This will keep the curtain flush to the sides of your bookcase.

    Love it, love it, love it!

    Grace I think it looks great.

    That is fabulous. You have done another great job. I think I would finish it like a quilt with perhaps just flannel instead of batting, then sew a sleeve on the top and bottom and insert a wooden dowel to weight the bottom. That way you could still use it as a quilt or wall hanging later if you wanted to. Think you could make one that looks like a window?
