Now this is gonna be a doesy.

Went nuts at the fabric store yesterday, 60 dollars nuts. But I got great fabrics that will be reincarnated into great projects the first of which are two blankets. So behind the cut I worn you is a mess of images around 15. And a couple questions. Happy looking.


First off lets get the questions out of the way. I am making a baby blanket with circles and squares I intend to cut out circles and attatch them to the squares I am looking for the easiest yet still reliable way to do this. I want it to look good and not fray. So suggestions are appreciated. Here is a picture:



I want it to look like so:



Thats a baby blanket for my cousin. The clown fabric was just a dollar sixty nine a yard. Thats a deal.

Now this is the fabric along with some solid calico that I am using for baby enzo's sisters blankie, her name is Fiamma:



Now onto the fabric sampling:



To be used as a tote for Fi. This fabric was also only a 1.69 per yard USD. Can anyone tell me what language it is? I think it is italian but I wouldnt know, I only know it is not spanish. Heres a close up:



Hope you can make that out.

Now onto my next projext which is circus animals for Enzo.




For a dollar a yard I get to create the greatest show on earth. I think it makes 4 puppets. And I only needed one yard.

And then for their beloved mom, my beloved auntie I will make a big tote/shoulder bag with matching little inside bag out of one of these fabrics:





They are the same print but one is an offwhite yellowy and the other is pale blue. So I have not yet decided.

Now the rest of this stuff will get made into either skirts or purses. Enjoy.

If you have any ideas of what to do with the last bits of fabric let me know. I have no less then 2 yards of everything but I can always get more.

Oh and all fabric was purchased at M and L discount fabrics on the corner of knot and ball is sunny Stanton California.
