This is what I came up with. I really like the simplicity of a 4x5 -6" block quilt so I made two.
I bought some bug fabric at a garage sale and went in search:
And this is what I came up with.
This fabric was a piece left over from my oldest son's crib sheets. (ds is 16 now boy I keep stuff a long time. But I think this proves that it is a good strategy as it suits the quilt.)
The face square was also from a swap.
I found the pig rushing home and remembered the three little pigs and thought it would fit in a fairy quilt
I don't Know how these guys got in here but their too cute to cut out. DH took this photo I was to chicken to be chased by their parents to get this close.
I had a scrap of this left over from another project and thought what kid wouldn't like a kitty or two on their bed.
I also thought the butterflies were nice but not too girly in these colours
There was also a pair of owls on the tomboy quilt. I love these quilts so much I think I want to make a wall hanging from the owl one as I have yet to quilt it. The Fairy one, I use to cuddle under at the TV. I think one day I just may have a little gd or some special little one or two that I could let them go to. But after all DS1 is only 16, I Shouldn't get ahead of myself. However like the little bunny fabric things do eventually find a nice place if I keep them until they are useful.
