25+ Recipes That Will Make You Fall in Love With Eggplant. - Eggplant isn't something that I eat, I may have to try some of these recipes. 

I have decided to use fruits and vegetables fabric coordinating with each month. Some months may be a challenge, however, I will try to substitute a fruit or a vegetable of the same color. 

On a whim, I stopped in a fabric store Obie's Country Store.

Look what I found, who would have thought?

 


I am trying to use background fabric from my stash. I am auditioning these two - leaning towards the blue on the right. 

It's hard to tell if I like them, we'll see!

Make sure that you use a scant 1/4 inch for your seams and 

trim your blocks according to the pattern!


Love it!

  1. Kathy, I really like the idea of using food themed fabric for this challenge. Your fabrics complement each other well. Looking good!
