Thread: OBW - Fabric Selection Online!

When you are searching in online stores for fabric that would work well for OBW/Kaleidoscope/Stack-and-Whack designs, what do you search for? I tried "kaleidoscope" and got nothing close.

Thanks.

I usually search for large scale prints and large scale asian prints :D:D:D

equilter.com has great fabrics for OBW's.

wide Stripes,or Border prints

I'm loging off this is to annoying can't 'quote reply' or 'repy' with out a lonnng wait....... :) but maybe thats the plan?

It really helps to get a fabric with quite a bit of "movement" in it. I made one from an Asian fabric that had wavy lines as part of the design. It also had a fairly large scale print. I was really happy with the way it turned out.
If you use a small print, you won't have much variety in your blocks.

I know that The Cotton Club has some OBW fabrics.

this site has a section devoted to one block wonder fabrics

even if you don't want to buy from them you can get a good idea about print size, style, and color
