Thanks everyone. My niece wanted to make one so she wanted me to order her the small die for the go cutter.
I knew I did not want to make one that small so I ordered the 8in for me. She is doing the small by hand. I did not have a pattern so kept looking at it and not knowing how to start it. On day I said hey its for me. Just do it. The top row I sewed about an inch at the sides together to take it across the top how big I thought I wanted it. My DD had bought me an old 1934 machine that was strait stitch and that really helped. After the first row it went pretty well. I was really surprised.
My niece saw it and came to my house for a couple of days and started her one. When she went home she said it was so much easier on that old machine. Lots of boo boos, But I still like it. I did the quilting FM on the LA. and just turned the backing over for the binding.
