I just made 2 with minky layer cakes of animal prints and used it also for the backing for 2 GGD's for Christmas. The first one was great. The second one for some reason some of the squares were not true so needless to say some of the seams did not quite match. I used glue sticks instead of pins. I was a bit over zealous in a few places so I washed them and they came out beautifully. I didn't find it too awfully difficult. Just be careful with it and pin, pin, pin, or glue, glue glue. Good luck
