FLOURISH QAL: Fabrics from Nestlings By Robin

 The first exciting step in starting a new
project....FABRICS!! 
YAY! YIPPEE! YAHOO!

I had a lovely floral print, 
"First Impressions" designed by
Mary Anne Henderson 
from Red Hen Fabrics

The color is true in the pic above.
I used the colors in the print

This print worked perfectly 
with the size of the templates.
You want a small to medium
print so that the fun details show ...
