I can only say that I could never have planned it to come out that way, it just so happened that I had to follow several turnings and yes, the whole process of doing that involved a lot of measuring and assembling tiny pieces over long hours of work, and then, most importantly, something I never did before,
finally cutting a nearly finished handmade top into several pieces again, which was a spontaneous decision and done in minutes.
In order to sew these strips together in a new way then I had to use the machine quickly or all my handmade seams would have come loose and the pieces would have been scattered around on table and floor.
It was quite an adventure and I feel the outcome is not a smooth but an interesting one, and it somehow looks right to me now.
