New Fig Tree Fabric?
Hello! When a designer you like releases a new fabric line, does anyone buy the large stack of 40 fat quarters & charms packs, yardage & such?? I love the new line, Mirabelle, by Fig Tree Quilts & it would coordinate so nice with my living room & bedroom when I re-do it this Spring. I have just ever bought fabric online & don't know about buying yardage for borders, binding, etc. My LQS is about 40 minutes away & not sure she will have this. She seldom carries this line. Just wondering. Thanks!!

I love the big fat quarter packs. Have you looked to see if they released a fat quarter pattern to go with the fabric?
Green Fairy has the bundle also for a better price & she has free shipping too.

i recently made a quilt using 2 fat quarter bundles and i am unlikely to do so again.
it was my fault really - for not checking the fabric line before i bought them. but when i got them home and opened them up, they had a LOT more pink in the prints than the stack suggested. i mean a LOT.
it would have been great to have the variety of prints for a scrappy quilt, but a fat quarter of the fabric you like the best just isn't very much.
i much prefer to coordinate and choose off the bolt. lesson learned!
here it is. you can't see what i am talking about really, but the white, greens and yellows were all purchased separately, as was that blue bubble fabric which really doesn't work as well as i had hoped. and because the person i am making this for doesn't like pink, i had to think of ways to minimize it every turn.
(this thread is not about me and i am sorry for highjacking it, but is a cautionary tale!)

That said, the Fig Tree colorways seem pretty predictable.
