Heart Quartet Dishcloth

Too many flowers, and the strange urge not to use up all my beautiful fabric. There's the explanation for the lack of new and awesome projects. Sound good? I thought so.

I have been doing a little bit of knitting, however, so here goes.

Chevron 'n' Flowers Apron

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This apron is SO cute!! I made it for a friend's birthday. I used Riley Blake chevron, and some floral fabric that I got at a local fabric store many moons ago. 
Here's the details:
Cut out pieces as follows:
waistband 21-1/2 x 6-1/2
body (chevron) 37-1/2 x 18-1/2
bottom accent piece 37-1/2 x 6-1/2
tails 37-1/2 x 6-1/2
Pretty simple, huh? My floral pieces were already cut out to the right dimension from a previous project. Jealous? I thought so.
Follow directions for a Basic Apron, except obviously the pieces will be put together differently than in that pattern. Other than that, simple as pie!!
Have fun!!
