It was very difficult to keep that 1/2" seam, and for the perfectionist I am, it was quite frustrating.

I saw another video where they used same size batting as squares...that would be much easier to sew, would there be any downfalls?
Next time, skip the batting and use solid color flannel----same size as your squares------for the inner warm layer. I refuse to fight bits of batting.
