Julie, after raptureready's comments I took this pattern and played with it to get it to a nice looking throw size for my Mom for Christmas. I played around with the focus fabric size a bit so that it will be a bigger "player". When I get the dimensions the way I want and actually find just the right peach and blue fabric for it I will put one together and post a tute. So far it looks good on paper we will see if it translates.
