I worked my fingers to blisters trying to get it done in time but once I went to construct the actual pillow I hit a snag, no pun intended. I was 90% done and ran out of trim because I has measured wrong! Hobby Lobby didn't get more in until a few days ago. Grr...!!! So yeah... she'll be getting her Christmas present at the beginning of March, lol. Whatever works I suppose. Now it is done and measures 24 x 32 inches! Pictures don't really do it justice as it turned out really nifty! I am pleased! ^_^
