I ordered a half yard of each of these from etsy.  I am thinking of using these for the Aneela Hoey quilt (posted earlier today).

PS  The Aneela Hoey fabric “A Walk in the Woods” isn’t for sale until February.

I just bought the apple picking dress pattern for Mila (25% off right now).  I need 2 1/4 yds of something fabulous!  I think I will make it in a 4T to make sure she can wear it for a while
