I know what you mean. Early last year I found fabric with a town and
streets which was just perfect for a play quilt for my grandson. As I
remember I had to buy over a yard to get all the locations. Had to
include the police station. Went home and bragged to my DH what a great
present it would be for just a few dollars. Then went to K-Mart and spent
$15 on hot wheels cars to go with it.
