Thanks, I think ;-)
Hope you don't hate me once you try this! No, not really, it was fun. But, a couple things I learned:
  1. Use starch
  2. When sewing strips together go in opposite directions with every strip, even tho her instructions say to always start at the "beveled" end. This, along with 1), helped me keep everything striaghter (didn't come out perfect, but was workable)
  3. Pay really close attention to the pictures. The text keeps saying "as shown in"... and you really need to pay attention to that, to end up with the pattern (or, go rogue, and see how it comes out?)

Good luck!
