I emailed a picture of this to another one of my nieces - who is graduating from college this winter - and she absolutely loves it.
I do need to rip it out here or there though - especially in the center. That part is really, really noticeable. I can't help it. Missed points drive me nuts! I'll set this one aside for a bit and work on the one for the original niece. It's only a year late already.....
