Hey Sash! I made one of these because I saw it on this website. I used St. Pat's fabric because it was for my sister. OMG I struggled with that sucker. I had to have a friend come and help me. In the end I did finish it. My contrast of colors did not work. The pieces I was trying to pull up to meet at the top were too short. The whole thing looked dismal. I threw it in the Goodwill box. If you're not happy there is a place to put it. Keep going! I'm sure you will master it. Then give me a call so you can make one for me!
