Thanks Judith! The seams are a bit challenging to sew through (have been using denim needles which cope with it all fine) and get to lie flat when you iron, but I finished putting it all together tonight, and the seams really give it character. I have accidentally managed to get one back pocket patch so you can still get your hand in the pocket, so may be fun for a little boy to hide things in, or put his toys in when he sleeps.
I am backing it with flannel, it arrived yesterday from an online store and is now washed and ironed. I have been wisely advised by our friends here that it will need no wadding/batting. Can't wait to put it all together at the weekend!
