THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO cute! Thank you! I am going to try and make it for Christmas for our grandson…I believe even a clothing person could do this, thanks to instructions…lol. The pattern lends itself to so many options from a scrap pile, too, for a teenager’s lap quilt..purple and pink, or aqua/yellow/greens…darling.
