    I LOVE your fabric. I have a pig collection and would like to know where I could purchase this fabric.

    The warm wishes pattern is the one I would vote for.

    Good luck in your sewing and give that man a hug from another pig lover.

    I was looking at the wolf one and thought you should be able to do it. When you layed out the fabric, did you lay down scrap strips of about the size of the bars to see how it would be? That should give you a real good idea of how the pig fabric would work. Can't wait to see what you do.

    fussy cutting is when you have a particular picture or design and you want to use as the middle of your block.

    I got the fabric from Walmart...they still have it, or at least the one here still carries it.

    How about a Irish chain using the pig fabric in between nine patches?

    Just a suggestion.
