Yep, bought two yards of the non sparkly couple weeks ago for baby quilts here at Jo Anns also. I do like the sparkly stuff though but interesting about what Grannie brought up about them getting into children's eyes. Never thought of that.

The fabric is perfect for your Dresden.

How big is the quilt and is it to be a gift? Might the recipient like the sparkles more than you do? Keep the receiver in mind not just your preferences.

I myself save plastic lids and cut them into whatever shape I want. Since they have no markings on them they work nicely. I would like to find sets of different sizes, it would make it easier when I'm frustrated and ruin every lid I cut!!

I have a GO cutter so thats what I thought I might try if the die is the right size. I have some creative memories cutting templates I have thought about trying - I havent tried it yet though - I think I also have a curcular cutter for scrapbooking made by fiskars - will have to play around with it though. I am just not real fond of the texture of fabric with the sparkles - has anyone sewed with it before?
The greens dont match but its the closest thing I have found so far!!! Would rather have a smaller floral print but I havent found any that has all the colors!!!
Thanks for input thus far - I appreciate it.
