edit: you could take orders for shorter ones if you like for more than half the cost of half the length. have a nice sign for that, but don't show them.

If you're making toppers, I'd just make the longer ones. Unless you wanted to make both, but I guess not or you wouldn't be asking us which ones! :mrgreen: :lol: :D
Anyway--thanks k3n. Opinions on pricing sure differ. What I have must be okay because things are selling well before the stuff even makes it to the craft show. I'm only making 40" ones based on the results of this "poll". I'm almost done with eight floral log cabin toppers--for $30 or $35... so there will be smaller items there too.
These are made with great care--double bindings--hand sewn on... high quality IMHO.

Do you live in the same town as the person asking about the pattern?
Are you planning to sell on QB?
Not sure I understand why you would not want to share the name of a pattern
Sheesh--I thought this was a simple question 20" or 40"?
