How much fabric would you estimate was left over? This looks like a 
good pattern for cutting down some of my fabric stash. (Oddly enough, 
this is one of the few costume patterns I don't have in my 
collection.)

Laura, I've seen Dicey's patch in person. You wouldn't believe the 
fine detail in the stitching--and I say that as a needleworker who's 
never particularly liked cross-stitch patterns.
