Thanks for your nice comments.
. For the amount of fabric, you should probably ask Linda. She told me 3.5 yards but when I asked Joanne's to cut me 3.5, it ended up being too much fabric. I don't know if it was that the fabric I chose was wider or something like that.
For the Canadian poster, I agree about asking if you can pay extra for shipping. Or if that's too much, maybe try making your own with the same materials? I don't know. If at all possible, I'd try to pay extra and get it shipped. Looking at it, it seems like a lot of work to sew it nicely. But if you're good at sewing, maybe it can be a fun project.
Kona is still enjoying it a lot. And we're glad we were able to pick our own fabric since it matches our furniture nicely.
