Very pretty, I'm thinking about trying one of these this year.

Beautiful!

Question for you, are you using a white muslin? If you are, what type?

Love the fabric choices on the white background. I've always looked at these and wondered how the heck are they made. One of these days I'll get my hands on one or be lucky enough to see one in process. Intriguing.

I'm using Kona cotton because I can just keep buying more as I need it from my local JoAnns and because you need LOTS of YARDS for this! When I read Eddie's tut about using 2 1/2" squares for the windows I thought of an old Kiwiberry Bali Pop I've had laying around for a couple of years. And I wanted to do something light & tropical for summer. I'm real happy with it. Thank you for all the lovely comments!
