The fairy fabric is so pretty. If you wish to turn a negative into a positive let the quilt become a "seek & find". She can count the fairies , then count all the legs she can find , etc.
Just tell her that you tried to get the fairies in the squares but they kept flying off. She will love that
Truth, be told, when i love the fabric, i don't usually even think too hard about fussy cutting... sometimes i'll do a feature few blocks by sashing the fussy cut... with a solid, then just use the fabric up for the rest... the colors of the print are meant to work together however you use them, otherwise it would be a PANEL.. right???:)
Oh,,,, this is so "Carol Ann"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P:

Thank you all, your comments, advice and encouragement have made me feel a lot better. I found more of the same fabric on-line for $4.99 a yard so I ordered it for my DGDs quilt. I am going to use the 25 squares I was able to save to make a QFKs or Project Linus quilt. I am anxiously waiting for my fabric so I could start the quilt for my DGD. :)
aww--I think the fairies you saved will be enough to evoke the images in the child's mind!! Good save...not at all ruined!
yep--been there done that...a popular club indeed! :D
I love the idea that the fairies keep flying off! Even if you fussy cut all the squares to put one of those adorable fairies right in the middle, I think you should still have at least one flying off the quilt! I'm glad you were able to find more of the fabric to make the quilt just the way you want it. What a cute little quilt it will be! Show us all when you have the top put together, please!
