Thanks for looking.

Wow! such a small world. I have that same fabric, I found at Hancock Fabric on the Northside of Chicago when I was visiting family for easter. I found three different bolts and got all of them. I have pieces cut out to make tote bags, wall hanging and bed quilts. It is so amazing, as to that's how my mother wants her quilt. Got it on sale for $3.98 per yard. My dad made the comment "Never seen that cartoon character."

It was created by Robert Kaufmann.

Not sure, I don't have a selvage age to check the name. Bought the last 2 yards at LQS.

Sewfine, loved all your items. It is a fun fabric to work it. I did buy 1/2 yard of the blah blah fabric but opted not to use in this quilt.

Thank you all for your kind comments and prayers for her :-)

I brought the whole bolt of all three since my dad said get it all I will pay for them. My cost is just to make mother a lap quilt. Can't beat that price. Everybody at the hospital loves her. I have made and sold 10 tote bags, one small single wall hanging and two of the other one. Only made two "blah blah" tote bags. The salvage reads: " Maxine 2010 Hallmark Licensing, Inc for RobertKaufman, Screen Print D#10241 www.robertkaufman.com. I am saving my salvage to make mud rugs.
