3. & 4. Pin to the fabric and carefully cut out the pattern

Thanks so much Meg. It's my back patio now and I'm slowly letting orange and purple take over for the summer. I needed a change.

Very nice table! I love how the color for the actual tabletop goes very well with the fabric. Nice color scheme. This actually makes it fun to look at as it is stylish and functional in terms of quality and craftsmanship! By the way, congratulations on being a finalist in the Valentine's Day Challenge!
