after i made frankie’s top secret charlie brown christmas quilt, i found the charlie brown quilt on fabric.com for so cheap i couldn’t not get it. the problem was, i needed 1/4 yard of all the different fabrics and fabric.com operates in 1/2 yards only. so, i bought enough fabric to make two. one for […]
