After starting to quilt a little over five years ago, I soon became frustrated with the limited availability and variety of fabric locally. I just couldn't seem to get the fabric to create the quilts I wanted to make. Fortunately, I discovered Etsy and all the fabulous fabric available online! Mendocino was (I think) the first fabric I bought online! I quickly made a quilt from it (which I sold at a craft fair), but couldn't decide what to do with the rest. It sat in my stash for years until I pulled it out a few weeks ago. I had pretty much decided to destash it in my shop but then decided I couldn't part with it and just to go ahead and make another quilt. Anyway, here's what I came up with...
Making this quilt made me realize how much I love this fabric and I'm so glad I hung onto it! Here's the back...
I thought it would look cute with just one little fussy-cut block with the mermaid and the little girl swimming together! This little quilt is going with me to the craft fair on Sunday. I kind of hope it doesn't sell!
I'm linking up again today to Amanda Jean!
