But, that's my problem. lol Three I made weren't on the diagonal because of the fabric--it would not have worked.
    Oh goodness...now it makes me wish I still taught a grade with kids who can read. Those are so cool...Pre-k kids just wouldn't appreciate them. I'm going to save this though.. Thanks for the directions.
