    Here is my design that I am wanting the purple fabric for. The fabrics I used in the graphic are found at Hobby Lobby, however, the quality is just not there. So, I am looking for similars. :)

    Joann's had a lovely purplish fabric with hycinth blossoms on it. I bought it and used it as a backing and I was thrilled. It was thick and sooooo soft. Try looking at Joann's.

    Love tonals but I really try to stay away from batiks. Batiks are too "chaotic" for me. I am just narrow minded in that way. lol :)

    check out various websites for batiks (bali), there are many that are "toned down".
