Not only did I match the center fronts, but my finger
slipped when I ordered, I had three yards to play with, so I
placed the same part of the print on the center back, and I
was able to keep the same horizontal design going all the
way around including on the sleeves (which also have the
CF-CB design centered on them). No one will ever notice but
me. ;-)
Today I did the final pattern lay-out, cut everything out,
sewed and pressed the darts and shoulder seams and fused
interfacing to the facings. Tomorrow I have an appointment
to have my car serviced, so I won't be sewing until
mid-afternoon.

I meant by my "...I hope you have..." to add to the litany
of things we all say to our children. If ever you get the
chance, watch Bill Cosby's 1982 concert "Bill Cosby:
Himself". He has some pretty funny takes on parenthood and
natural childbirth.
My older DD and I look enough alike that 15 years ago when
we were out together, folks took us for sisters. I thought
