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!
