I went shopping today to get some fabric for Sadie's play quilt. I found something similar to what I was looking for.
Her due date is six weeks from today. Surely I can do this!
I'm just going to have to explore the shops online and start purchasing from them. My local (and by local I mean 30 miles away) store is a Hancock Fabrics, and it has what I used to think was a pretty good selection til I started following quilting blogs and saw all the wonderful collections that are available! There's also a JoAnn's next to the Hancock, but it's mostly craft stuff, just a little fabric.
However, I do like to rummage around in the remnant bin at Hancock. This is what I came up with today.
The blue puppy dog fabric is flannel, and the pink chick material is fleece. There is almost a yard of the fleece and I'm sure I can come up with something to do with that for Sadie. If nothing else I'll make her a little blankie to snuggle with and later to drag around behind her or use on her dolls.
They look so pretty! And I love looking through remnant bins. That's probably where half my fabric comes from. My closest fabric stores (other than Wal-mart which only counts in a real pinch) is 1 1/2 hours away, so I'm buying more and more online. Fabric.com has great prices on good quality fabric. It's always marked down a dollar or two from the list price and if you're not super particular and look in their sale section they have a lot of fabric for $6 or less (which is cheap for quilt shop quality fabric.)
