I' going to make a quilt as a surprise retirement gift. She is a geologist and lives rocks. She likes blues and greens. The only rock fabric I can find comes in greys or browns.The fabric from spoonflower is mostly green. (http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/31...-by-elramsay3M ). Mixed with batiks I think it would be beautiful.

It's very pricey tho, to me. They do have some great designs, yes, But unless I was designing my own (and I've never had anything printed larger than a swatch 8x8 @5.00 or a FQ at 10.50) I would find a print/design elsewhere.
Just recently received a swatch booklet of their fabrics/wallpaper/gift wrap. Yes, if you have time, It would be a good idea to order the samples.

When first I found out about Spoonflower, I ordered one of their stock issues on quilting fabric.
It disappointed me in every way: colors not as depicted (reds came out pink) quality of fabric poor.
I hope they have changed for the better.
