This would only take a few hours


if you knew what you were doing. For me, it took all day. Yes, it is just 2 pieces of flannel, with a diamond sewn in the middle and binding. But, I ran into a few problems, made a trip to Wal-Mart, changed my mind on the edge, changed my mind on the decorative stitching, and OH YEAH.. I am a slow sewer.
Janell came over and helped me fix a few mistakes but all in all, I thought it turned out cute. I made it for a friend, Cortney, who's having a little girl in January. I hope she is one of those people who finds imperfections endearing!
