Jeanne S is a doll! I asked her for permission to use this wonderful pattern with our charity bee and she could not have been lovelier in giving it. We all just loved it. We did it in darker batiks targeting the often forgotten men. Seven of us put together 4 substantial sized tops in just over two hours. There is no wrong way to sew it so long as you keep the square in the center. I had all the sizes cut already so we zipped right along. They turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing, Jeanne!
