For the love of Doorstops!

I've got a wee 'thing' about doorstops at the moment.

I think they're so cute when I see them in shops, especially the decorative ones in the shape of cutesy houses, or funky chickens!

I discovered Oh Fransson's doorstop tutorial 18 months ago and loved how it turned out (although not sticking to her generous 1/2" seams meant my squares weren't even - I learn the hard way!). Be warned though, these babies take nearly 2kg of dried peas to fill them!

I will soon be teaching this wee gem in my class and thought I'd make another one, to refresh myself with the pattern, but also as a potential present for my friend's birthday.
