The fabric that just won't go away...

On one of the quilting sites I frequent there has been much talk about the infamous puffer fish fabric. So being the inquisitive guy I am, I asked questions, made inquiries and even found some puffer fish!!!! It's a good thing it was sent in a brown envelope as I think it woulda given the postman a scare, heart attack, and early retirement... So without further ado.....I give you the FUGLY Puffer Fish.





Notice the human like eye and mouth!!! It's enough to scare the crap outta your neighbor.

Stay tuned for a project using this fabric!!!!
