Lucky Find

A week ago, while visiting family, I was driving down the road, running an errand, when I passed the local quilt shop. A large banner hanging on the side of the building read "Fat Quarter Sale - Fill Your Stash!" with Saturday's date underneath. I quickly decided to take their suggestion and join them on Saturday in an attempt to fill up my stash.
I got there on Saturday, but not until about thirty minutes after the store had opened. Most every sale priced FQ was already sold and there were many unhappy women milling about the store. It turns out if you were not there when the doors opened, you were out of luck. I decided to look around a little bit and see if there were any other fabrics that caught my, even if they weren't on the mega-sale. While looking, I came across a tiny stack of the sale FQ that had been looked over. There were a few trick-or-treat fabrics, one other design I didn't care for, and this...
I quickly picked up several FQs of each print, debating how many I wanted. I ended up with a yard of the castle background and 1/2 yard of the map background. I left a few FQs on the table, but now wish I would have bought every last one they had.
I'm absolutely loving this fabric - its soft, bright, and so cute - and can't wait to make a little quilt out of it!
