From the Publisher

Are you a fabric collector who can't resist puppy dogs, teddy bears, chili peppers, or whatever your favorite thing is? You've got a special pile of fabrics you've been saving for "someday..." It's here!

Maybe you've been admiring the novelty prints, but holding back. A certain something has been calling your name (strawberries, chickens, oogly bugs?) but you didn't know what you would do with it. Here's what you can do with it.

You've got a friend or a kid who loves bunnies, or Santas, or cats. Here's a nifty quilt you can make especially for them.

Are you a "beginner-y" quilter? An experienced quilter? A member of a quilting group? This project has something to offer everyone. These quilts go together quickly, and make people smile.
