Yeah it's seamed, they wanted it divided into 4 equal
sections and top-stitched.
It doesn't look equal now, but with the mattress on it

I don't like it, but it does give it some detail to an
otherwise plain headboard.
The sectional fabric was a mofo, each time I cut it I

have to take it to the serger and serge it to keep it
from
raveling.
They also lucked out with the fabric lining up

across the tops of the cushion fom the sofa to the
chaise.
They originally wanted the chaise part to be 84" long and
I
told them it would be long and made it 72" long. A couple

Thanks again for looking

I can't appreciate everything that goes into a project
like this,
since I've never undertaken a similar task. What I can
appreciate is
a job well done. As Karl said - so well done it makes it
look like it
was easy...

Thanks Mike.
I'm always overbuilding or over thinking jobs, because I
hate to do things twice. ( can you say anal?)g
I guess it has paid off because after 35 yrs of being in
business, I can say that I have never had a piece comeback
except to be redone again

I once told a customer that I build to last, the last thing I want is
to see you again, unless you want me to build something else. :-)

I've got to meet with a designer and old customer Tuesday to look at a sofa
I built her at least 20 years ago.
She's ready to recover now, but the 4 chairs I built for her in the same
room, she just wants me to rework the cushion cores and add a little down to
the backs.
Sometimes I think I build it too wellg
BTW: There is nothing wrong with the sofa, she just ready for a change
