ReRe just hostessed a swap asking for fabrics with pink in them "for girls"

I had a comparatively hard time finding fabrics with pink in them. (If it was something besides flowers)

Also, when shopping for fabrics, it's helpful to make an "audition template"

Cut out a 4-1/2 inch square in a larger square and then one can see how/if the fabric will cut apart nicely. I've found that not all prints seem to cut out well in 5-inch squares. Some work out better in a larger or smaller format. And some just don't cut apart well.

I think some prints do need to be fussy cut to work out well - and that uses a lot of extra fabric.
