I did it! I finished the tablecloth before the event. I was so pleased when it was done, because it looks awesome.
The above was taken when I was still partway through sewing the damn thing on. In the end, I only sewed around the main motif in the centre, and left the border to do its own thing.

Here it is laid out on the Round Table, just before we set the tea party up. I think I gauged the size perfectly!

And here we are enjoying our tea and cake! The tablecloth was very well received, so I'm glad I spent so much time on it over the last month.
I have another crazy project on the go now, ahead of the next event in August. I have six weeks to pull this one off though, and it's a sewing project rather than crochet or knitting (although, I do have a couple of things to crochet as well). More about that later in the week!
It looks fabulous!
