I think if you had used the pattern like a "snippet" pattern with steam a seam instead of sewing each and every single little tiny ..rear end piece you would have had so much more fun. Hats off to you for doing it the old fashioned hard way! Count me out on old fashioned with pieces my eyes with my glasses couldnt get. It is coming out lovely however and besides.. how many halloween wall hangings does a person need? 1. The rest are just for fun. Make sure they are fun before you start!
