I got it at Joann's last week when it was 50% off.

Have you noticed that the variety of Easter fabric has been nothing compared to other years. I have been to Hobby Lobby, Joann's, the quilt shops and there just hasn't been a lot to choose from. I picked this because of the colors.

Thanks for the tute. Love your fabric choices. Very springy!

Thanks, I have used the Little Twister and made a mug rug, so much fun

Thanks again for the tutorial

Thanks for the tute!!
I've heard about waste but you could do a lot
with those scraps! :D:D
Thanks again, great tute~ Sue
