That is neat - except - I wonder - if the seams are supposed to match. Looks like only the upper left corner matches (and I'd like that) - the other sections don't (and I don't think I'd like that)
Do you think there's a way to make them match all the way around or is it just the demonstrator? I would think they'd match. I'll bet if I placed more lines going out - they would match - I'll have to try it. Maybe the 1/4 seam messes it up...but why 4 out of the 5?
BUT
I LOVE the simplicity of making it. going to try one right NOW I've got nothing to do for an hour! ROFLMAO LOL :) :) :)
Thanks for posting.

I think if you put the point in the middle it would work. I want to see it when you are done.

I've been working on this and have not finished but thought I'd post what I did so far. I didn't use the same width fabrics for strips.
Also I do not follow cooking/baking directions to the letter the first time I make something either ;) ;) :lol: :roll:

I goofed a little - line up the first sewing PAST the foundation fabric then when you cut 1/4" past foundation you'll have the tip there

I goofed - the 2 yellows should have been sewn all the way to the bottom of the foundation - guess I'm unsewing later

Here's 1 section I was able to complete because the yellow strips when down far enough.
