I positioned it so that the figurative designs were evenly spaced, pulled excess together in the center and stitched it down so that you ended up with clear design elements along the top and bottom edges and gathering in the middle.

Interesting. Were there 3 pieces for each cup (a strip on top and bottom and a middle I suppose wedge shaped piece) or was it all one piece with the middle potion gathered up. And was it "puffy" in the middle section from the ruching, or was it all stitched down into little pleats?
