I think I put most of this other places, but in case you come back here to check... The teeth are the tricky part here, so measure, measure, measure when you're sewing them together! Some days I would do very well and everything would fit - but other days they would come out WAY too big or too small. Just being a tiny bit off in your seam allowance makes a big difference.

The thing I said I would do differently if I was doing it over was, I would wait and cut the small pieces as I went along. On the later fabrics I cut, I just cut a 2-1/2" strip and then cut it into smaller pieces as needed. (Of course, if you're one of those people who decides on your fabrics to start with, and sticks with it, it would be different - but I am most definitely not one of those people!)
