I...I love that topmost print from SuperBuzzy, too. If I were making this for my own kid, I probably would have splurged on it. <BR/><BR/>If I were making this quilt to sell, I would probably use the SuperBuzzy fabric. I recently spent a day fussy cutting and piecing together elephants from the second print from eQuilter. If I were selling the quilt the cost of my time more than made up the difference in price between the fabrics. So the end product would be less expensive if I used the more expensive topmost SuperBuzzy fabric. <BR/><BR/>But I also have this weird thing about using fabric with large areas of white in quilts for kids. I feel like it will show every stain or speck of dirt that will inevitably be part of a baby quilt's life. I'd hate to give a parent something that they would feel guilty using for its intended purpose. So awesomeness, cost, and convenience aside, I would still think twice before using that print for this purpose. Maybe if I overdyed it with grey? Or if it were for an adult's version of the same pattern . . . though then it would be large enough that I'd want to blow the bank and make a border of giant Marimekko elephants.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985641228586503550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1372170335840307054.post-18191168137610580162009-03-03T16:50:00.000-08:002009-03-03T16:50:00.000-08:00I know you are way beyond the decisions of this no...I know you are way beyond the decisions of this now, but I have to say, the first choice you posted is adorable. I don't know if it's the elephant silhouettes, the variations in trunks, or what, but I love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
