Have a friend who LOVES Elvis, so will be buying this to make something for her if the faces look right.
The pictures that I posted are what I found on the "wholesale customers only" section of Cranston's website. I don't have access, at this point, to any larger pictures. Many of the fabric companies no longer print samples on fabric, for shops to choose from; we have to make our choices based on the pictures that we see. And pictures don't always translate perfectly onto fabric.
The Elvis line is from the VIP Exclusive division of Cranston, which means two things:
- it won't be available in chain stores
- you won't be able to get it at chain store prices
These are going to cost your LQS the same as their Quilting Treasures brand, meaning that the retail price is ... well, you're not going to find it at $2 / yard. It's going to be quilt shop prices, because it comes in at a quilt shop cost.
My (semi-educated) guess is that those fabrics from this group that ever DO make it to clearance status are not going to be any of the ones with Elvis on them; it will be the dots or the checks.

What do you think? Will there be a market for this?
I think the guitars are quite nice and they don't scream "Elvis".

I'm with you the guitar fabric is nice and can have a lot of uses other than "just Elvis" fabric.
