    Are you able to post pics? That's a line I've been wanting to get. I haven't seen any in person. No one here carries it, no big shows either so no chance of an outside vendor coming with it to see.

    I love to use ugly fabric for bindings! Especially when cut on the bias, they usually turn out to be gorgeous!

    It might be an issue with the manufacturer. It's by Quilting Treasures. I bought their Wizard of Oz fabric. Sepia looks beautiful. For the 2nd line, the faces are just odd. There are a few ones of Dorothy that look awful. And I'm a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan, so I did buy every line and tried to ignore the faces.

    Then I bought their I Love Lucy line. I bought from 2 different vendors. The faces were so horribly awful that I sent the fabric back to both. There was one of Fred and Ricky ... ugg, really bad.

    Anyway, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was an issue from all their fabrics. It's difficult to take actual people and make them into good looking fabric (since their non-actual people lines are beautiful), so I know that's part of it.
