    You did a great job. Let them figure out how to use it. I know they will love it.

    Not too long at all. I just did one that was 90 x 132"...so they could use it like a bedspread.

I've used this template for 12 tees and it worked just fine. Is this stupidly long? Just back it and call it good?

    The extra length is for tucking in the toes. Being tall makes it nicer.

    I don't think it is too long. I would rather have it a few inches too long than too short.
