Need better instructions
The instructions are horrible. It is like a page is missing. The part about the batting and the quilting stitching is completely non existent. I figured it out but I expect more from Joann Fabric's. For the money we spend at the store they could put a little effort in the instructions, this is not the first project that has poor instructions.

Is anyone from Joann’s reading reviews?
If anyone from Joann is reading the numerous reviews, maybe a little help with video or photos might save people time and maybe even get people interested in this, very cute, project.

Great idea!
I made a couple of these and adjusted the length for adults. I also made them with several layers of batting. These were perfect for camping.

Cute pattern
This pattern would have been much easier with photos or pictures. It took me days at a time to figure it out. After making one, now I can do it much faster but it should not have taken me 10 to get through the whole project.

Pretty much sewing straight lines.
Not sure what is confusing about the instructions to so many people. They are pretty much step by step. Make the pillow section, make the ties for rolling up, then make the main section and attach to pillow section. Pretty simple i thought. But then luckily I have always had the ability and skill to visualize the written word.

Read the instructions
While I agree with other reviewers, pictures for certain steps would be very helpful I still think the instructions are just fine if you take your time and actually read them. As with any written pattern for any craft, reading the instructions for the pattern in its entirety before committing to the project is a must. This doesn't sound any more confusing than any other project with many pieces, I've ever come across.
