Always remember that the positioning of the designs is most important, as the final effects and the quality of the finished scene which you are creating relies on your design placement. The layout of the Classical Series of designs for my cushion is shown below. It is the form of a diagram which indicates which design is used and the position in which I placed it. Each of the printouts of the designs should be arranged on a large piece of paper, as shown below. |
