Bed Skirt Part2

It's coming along.  I've completed attaching the pieces together for each panel - yellow & white pique with brown grosgrain ribbon.  I've hemmed all but 3 panels.  Just need to cut the deck piece - the portion that sits underneath the mattress and attach the panels.  I'll have it done this weekend and possibly start working on the matching pillow.  Pics to follow soon!

Supplies:
1 - 29 x 59 muslin for deck
2 - 8 x 16 1/2 side inserts
2 - 30 x 16 1/2 end panels (for 2 toned cut 30 x 11 1/2 for top and 30 x 6 for bottom tone)
4 - 29 x 16 1/2 side panels (for 2 toned cut 29 x 11 1/2 for top and 29 x 6 for bottom tone)
Optional 5 1/2 yds of 2 inch ribbon

Instructions:
For 2 toned:  Attach the 2 different fabric along the 30" or 29" length side with 1/2" seam.  Press seam open.
1.  Hem the sides and bottoms of each side insert and panel by pressing 1/2" and then 1/2" again.  Stitch on the edge of pressed hem.
2. Attach the tops of the insert and panels to the deck.  Attach the side on the 30" of the deck with 1/2" seam.  Align the 29" panels to the corners of each front and back side and attach with 1/2" seam.  Center the insert panels between the 2 front and back side panels and attache with 1/2" seam.
