At the center of this collection is a beautiful panel print featuring a variety of small picture windows showing outdoor café tables, mugs filled to the brim with piping-hot coffee and cobblestone walks that capture the essence of late morning in Paris! Use this unique piece of fabric as a decorative wall hanging or make it the centerpiece of a project quilt—it will retain its elegance in either application!
