@Celia, I would put this aside until January and make it a long term project. Like others have said, I would read all her information and do a
free block she has up using what fabrics you have on hand. I do like the idea of what this designer is doing and will be doing one of the free blocks to see if I want to get one of her kits.
I have a picture to do also and have to trace all the pieces onto Steam A Seam and then iron to the fabric and layer it on to make a horse's head. Less sewing and more ironing. I question why I bought it other than it is one DD loved, a dealer did a sample, and I bought it.
