However this is not the first time I've been unable to follow pattern instructions! (With apologies to Judy for adapting her great pattern.)

I had such a fun time trying to predict what the twist would be for the final clue. I thought it might be a 'slice and dice' - sort of turning the topper into a 9-patch aimed at rotating the patches to re-distribute the dominant fabric throughout the top. In the end this is what I did, just for fun.

I did fail to take into account that I would lose some of my points into the new seams, but I don't think they're too obvious .

Now to try the uploads ...

finished

I'm a childminder, and one of my charges has already claimed this as his own, cos it's got rabbits on it!!

Thanks again Judy, and I'll definitely be along for the next ride too....

Kate...............It is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much for sharing your project with all of us. I know that I will be looking at mine a little bit differently now, to see how I might make mine extra special!! GREAT JOB.
