These are beautiful! Okay, it looks like I am going to have to break down and make one. Ladies, you make them so quickly that the pattern must be simple to sew. I bought this pattern early in the summer and have looked at it and looked at it. I am apprehensive because I am not a "sewer". I make quilts but do no other type of sewing, so I tend to shy away from sewing other items or intricate quilt making; i.e., applique.
