I struggle with using "nice" fabric for a utilitarian project like this, too, but looked through my closet and found a beautiful print that I had bought on clearance that I loved, but was having a hard time cutting into. Now I get to look at this lovely fabric every day (and I still have a good sized piece to use in a project if I can bear to cut into it!) Much better than sitting in the closet!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426113785382986298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695658711837141737.post-29318699735757274142010-03-31T07:05:35.708-06:002010-03-31T07:05:35.708-06:00It looks great and you are always so fantastic to ...It looks great and you are always so fantastic to take the time to make tutorials for us.Dresden Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271910749619198419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695658711837141737.post-9849165396246219072010-03-30T08:21:58.529-06:002010-03-30T08:21:58.529-06:00This is such a great idea!
