How do i get my brother to use soap? Or just be a regular human?

why doesn't it look like the picture? i did slip stitching like people suggested but it looks weird. it's also not laying flat, did i do something wrong?

My first ever granny squares. I just started last week. Anything I need to be doing different?

how do i make this? i know that its granny squares but im not sure how they added the green stitching, or how to do the top/handles.
