    It's actualy pretty easy to make. MUCH easier than paper piecing! lol

    Shari, once everything is cut, it's goes together pretty easy.

    The label could have been a bit smaller, but oh well....MIL will brag on it about how much she loves it.

    The colors are actually a bit brighter. I used all my Asian Fabric for this, so I hope she REALLY likes it. I don't usually use that fabric for something I will give away. I pretty much hoard it. lol
    How did you sew your squares on? Did you sew them together first in strips or one square at a time?

    I'm currently working on a tute for the jacket. I need to make sure that I don't overstep the copywrite of the pattern. I'm only going to put out they way I did it. I cannot put the amount of fabric, but can give a round about number for the amount that is needed.

    Love it! I like the way you rounded the bottom corners on the fronts. I like to hoard my favourite fabrics too!
