What's the fab shop hop? I've never heard of it.

Saw a posting on the board here last month. It is an online shop hop, you visit the online shops, find the bunny logo, click on it, and some people win prizes. That's how I heard about it- some of the peeps here won some fabric. Here is the link that explains it and has the registration for it.

Now I have FQs and 1/2 yard pieces and yard pieces. (I'm attaching a pic of what I have so far.) I'm thinking I could do a quilt, maybe a tote bag. Any suggestions of things you've seen with this fabric?

Thanks for your input!

Here is what I made a few years ago with those fabrics. I love Dick and Jane.

I love Dick and Jane. I made two. The first I bought a kit and made for my little niece, and the second I just duplicated the first. It was a purchase request from another family member.
The pic is of the second one (pattern was mostly from the kit).

I had those books in the first grade. I guess I already knew how to read, because while the kids took turns reading a page aloud, I was reading ahead in the back of the book. When it was my turn to read aloud, I never knew what page I was supposed to be reading! lol

Wow, that brings back memories! I don't think I would want to cut into any of them.

From a Thimbleberries book, there is a pattern called 'Hopscotch' I actually made a Dick and Jane quilt from this pattern, sbsolutely love it-
Looks like you are so very close to be able to do a Turning 20 quilt also, which would showcase each print.

Why would they need to know who Dick and Jane are? The object of reading is to learn new things!
