This panel quilt and pillow are a birthday gift for Andrew. The back is Polartec fleece, and sooo soft. I didn't use batting.

Bird, Butterfly, & Flower Fabric
When
we were at Joann's Fabric and Craft Store a couple of weeks ago
to
get Victoria's Sizzix Big Shot and the fabric for the Eureka quilt,
Larry spotted this fabric, pulled the bolt from the rack,
and
put it in the cart.
"That doesn't match," I said.
"But
it's exactly what you need!" he informed me.
I
took another look at it.
It's
covered with beautiful pictures or paintings of
chickadees, indigo buntings, American goldfinches, Carolina wrens,
monarch butterflies, purple coneflowers, zinnias, morning glories,
fuchsia, yellow coneflowers, lilacs, tall phlox, blue jays, ...
You
know, he's right: It IS exactly what I need!!
I
bought the entire bolt. (But there were only 1
½ yards.)
It's 100% cotton.
The
question is, What do I need it FOR?
I
would welcome any suggestions anybody has to give
as
to what in the world to make out of this fabric.
I
might turn my nose up and refuse to follow said suggestions,
but
I welcome them, nonetheless!
Here's a shot with my rotary cutter on the fabric, for size
perspective:
And
now a set of close-ups:
Sooo. . . what shall I make out
of it???
