Much like my regular diet, my fabric diet fluctuates about 70 times while I am in the store. I think a fabric will be good for blocks, then I think I should be 10 meters just in case I love it so much when I get home that I decide I want to make the back out of it too, as well as matching accessories. So should I get 10? or 11 so that I can also make some blocks? And should I just buy the cherry pie or will my regret at having not also gotten the apple be so great that I have to drive back to the store later????? :pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-59639391271561885642008-04-09T17:59:00.000-05:002008-04-09T17:59:00.000-05:00The boxes are great!
