Go for it. It was fun to make and there are sooooooo many things you can do for decoration from theme to retro to anything. I saw it as making the house out of it and then just had to add the fird house that my Dad had made so many years ago. He died in 1979 and was a major inspiration to my creativity. My Mom was the seamstress. I guess I didn't have a chance to land where I have in the quilting/creative world.
