I found a GREAT sewing and fabric store only 3 minutes away from my home- which could mean trouble, but I won't dwell on that now- this morning. James and I were a bit early but the owner was so nice and let us in to sell me some fat quarters I could practice on until I was confident with my piecing. I was looking through her SALE fat quarters and found this:
Which is not a fat quarter, its a panel, but it was so CHEAP! And then, I found this:

I'd do a denim or a cordouroy. Is that spelled right? I don't know. It's late. :) Anyway, I'd do something a little heavier on the back. That's what I've done, anyway, and I think a slightly heavier blanket appeals to Chiara sometimes. Goos luck!! Post pictures when you're done! :)
I agree with Shelli, a denim or corduroy. I would probably choose a darker blue color that would match the blue on the panel as well as the third fabric. But that's just me and I haven't had my "craft" on for a long time. You're making me jealous.
