What have I gotten myself into?

We made another Ikea run today and after I told Andy that we need to get some art for the other bedroom, I talked him into buying fabric and some metal rails, so now I have to step up and put it all together. The fabric is more than twice as wide as the rails, so I've decided to turn it inside out and stitch it into a tube, then turn it right side out and iron, then clip the ends into the rails. I don't have a sewing machine, and I'm not certain I have the skills to stitch a straight line anyway. So it'll be a lot of labor... But I hope it looks good!

The only other problem I foresee is that that room is painted avocado-green and green is also prevalent on the fabrics. Don't think they'll blend in, exactly, but I don't like things too matchy-matchy.

( Here are the pictures of the ones we got: )
