OK...so far i have done 9 of these....and that took me the better part of a week. LOL   there are 50 in all. i might be done by 2018.  i started with the simplest ones....and i can tell you that i have not done even one of them yet without taking pieces apart and starting over. one of them has an error ... wrong color fabric....but i didn't see it until it was finished, so i didn't take it out. these are HARD. haha  it will be my winter project. every. night....until they are finished...or i am finished.  pray for me. hahahahaha
