ANOTHER FINISH!

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!
