Hello,
I am just looking at these patterns for the states across America for the first time. Is there any reason that these cannot be made up in the correct colors but with a small print instead of plain fabric?
Hi Carol, You can make them any way you like with any fabric printed or otherwise. Have fun! Thanks, Betsey
