These are so cute and easy if you follow directions. One year I made about a dozen with beading and embroidery, crazy quilting for gifts. One was part of an exchange with my crazy quilt bee. The one he drew me couldn't figure out the pattern (and didn't ask anyone). It looks more like a fish...Granddaughter loves it and I made me one. They really are cute made of fabrics with mini dots or plaids, too.
