if you use batting cut it smaller because it won't fray. some ppl don't like to use batting, but living in the NW I sure do! I found when I snip, the corners get gone because the snips meet! I snipped the whole thing after putting it together, just cuddled up with it on a cold night and snipped away. I also found that the blisters that formed rubbed off. That hurt! Snip a few, figure out where the scissors are rubbing you and use some moleskin or wrap some bandaids around it. The blisters made me remember why I LOVE my rotary cutter, and I added moleskin to my sewing supplies.
