Wow! Another amazing piece with a lot of perfectly fussy-cut, tiny pieces! Your creativity is incredible - it's always a joy to see what you've designed

I bought it on Etsy or Amazon I forget which, but I had never seen any that wide either, buy when I saw that I knew I needed to use it in this quilt since the shape mimics the print shape.

He is still really young, but his passion right now is cars, but I couldn't find any fleece w/ a good car theme. Originally I was going to do cars, but couldn't find anything I liked, then when I thought of the idea of the star I wanted to play w/ the idea of hidden in plain sight and knew if I was going to be able to do what was in my head I would need a simple print in 3 color ways and it just went from there.
