I HAD to make a deal.

Where should I begin? It was last week. My 4 year old decided that she was going to choose a stack of fabric just for her.

I never discourage her from fabric and so I let her go ahead and pick something.

Yeah she chose Terrain by Kate Spain.

At first I wasn't too threatened. I figured she'd give it up in a few minutes.

Well days went by.

I noticed the bundle had been undone and all the fat quarters were in her kiddie grocery cart. She was pushing them from room to room.

But she didn't really say much about them.

  I was feeling pretty good and thought I would cut out a few quilt blocks for a new pattern I am testing.

I wanted to use the blue/green/purple colorway of Terrain.

I nonchalantly took the 15 fat quarters I wanted from her stack.

Whoa...that caught her attention and quick.

I used my suave parenting skills and told her I would make her a deal.

 She could take ANY fabric from purple stash that she wanted as a trade.

She ended up with 11 or 12  fat quarters.

She was very serious about her choices and made sure the orange and pinks in Terrain would match.

Her words {where's my pink?, it's got to go with my pinks}

I kind of felt guilty for taking her, I mean my fabric!

That quickly passed after I made my first test block.

I am also fairly sure it was a good deal/trade...she's smiling behind those fat quarters ;)

It goes without saying that this ONE has a 99% chance of being an artist, crafter, quilter.

I absolutely love her.
