This is the fabric, purchased at Country Traditions in
Fremont, for the next big quilt, a postage-stamp style, using a cross-stitch
pattern by Thomas Kinkade, The Light of
Peace. Each cross-stitch will
instead be a one-inch piece of fabric.
I got 39 half-yard pieces, plus a yard for binding, and
three more pieces for three borders that will increase in size as they get
closer to the outer edge of the quilt -- 1 ½ yards, 1 ¾ yards, and 2
yards. Most of the fabric was from the
clearance shelves, and was only $5.99/yd., even the batiks that are normally
$13/yd.
I chose the fabric by matching the embroidery thread to it.
