I buy fabric similar to this to make pillow cases and mail them to soldiers in Afghanistan/Iraq. They love the cowgirl pinups. It only takes 27" of fabric. You can use the remainder as a border on a different pillowcase. These pillow cases are so cute and easy-peasy to make. The fabric is expensive so I don't get to buy it often.
