Re: showing cat fabrics to advantage



I saw a cute child's quilt in a magazine once that had fussy cut all sorts
of kids fabric and made flaps that the child must open to see the picture.
I think they used 4 squares the same size as the fussy cut fabric, then
folded them in half twice on the diagonal then placed the rough edges
together around the fussy cut square before using it in the quilt. (Can
anyone else explain this better?)

If no one knows what i mean, I will look in my pile on mags to see if it was
one of mine I saw it in....
