This is actually my 2nd paper piece project, the 1st was the same only smaller as a potholder so I could figure out the method, then I blew up the size on my copier. I didn't know how to do the scant 1/4 seam so it didn't match where it was supposed to and I kept adding borders so it ended up being an 18" pillow with a back zipper pocket! Gift for a friend of ours that went to Ferrier (horse-shoeing) school.
