It is a fabric that that was popular about 8 or 9 years ago...a group of Amish quilts displayed on a white fence. I cut out a 2.5" and 3.0" "quilt" and put a back on so it can be 3-D. I have a couple of dozen such small "quilts", so each participant in the swap could receive a different "quilt". When I satin stitched Snowy Quilter's mittens, I inserted the finished 2" x 2.5" "quilt" under the mitten. I tried to purchase small blue or brown buttons for her eyes, but neither Joann's or Hancock's near me had small enough buttons of any color. I might try Hobby Lobby, because satin stitching those small blue circle eyes is a test. Also, I'm going to shorten her "Pinocchio" nose.

Based on the absolutely affirmative feedback I received from all the wonderful people on the board, I will make the other 11! I hope the swappers who receive her will be pleased. Belles
