But I got great fabrics that will be reincarnated into great projects the first of which  are two blankets. So behind the cut I worn you is a mess of images around 15. And a couple questions. Happy looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;lj-cut text="I hate discount fabric stores"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; First off lets get the questions out of the way. I am making a baby blanket with circles and squares I intend to cut out circles and attatch them to the squares I am looking for the easiest yet still reliable way to do this. I want it to look good and not fray. So suggestions are appreciated. Here is a picture:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/cuttingboard.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want it to look like so:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/circlesandsquares.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats a baby blanket for my cousin. The clown fabric was just a dollar sixty nine a yard. Thats a deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this is the fabric along with some solid calico that I am using for baby enzo's sisters blankie, her name is Fiamma:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/noah.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now onto the fabric sampling:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/italy.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be used as a tote for Fi. This fabric was also only a 1.69 per yard USD. Can anyone tell me what language it is? I think it is italian but I wouldnt know, I only know it is not spanish. Heres a close up:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/whatsthissay.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you can make that out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now onto my next projext which is circus animals for Enzo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/concrod.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/circus.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a dollar a yard I get to create the greatest show on earth. I think it makes 4 puppets. And I only needed one yard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then for their beloved mom, my beloved auntie I will make a big tote/shoulder bag with matching little inside bag out of one of these fabrics:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/antiqueblue.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/antiquewhite.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are the same print but one is an offwhite yellowy and the other is pale blue. So I have not yet decided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the rest of this stuff will get made into either skirts or purses.  Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/tango.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.00/yard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/sailboats.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.69/yard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/pale.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor image but its very pale yellow with speckled color.&lt;br /&gt;1.69/yard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/paisleyfabric.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.69/yard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/heartsfabric.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.69/yard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.&lt;img src="http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a355/sewlikewhoa/funkyfabric.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.69/yard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have any ideas of what to do with the last bits of fabric let me know.
