I love the new more fun, modern prints. Limey greens, aqua, coral, reds. I like Moda, Free Sprit, Amy Butler, Rober Kaufman, Kaffe Fasset, Jinny Meyer.

Pure greys are impossible to find. I had to settle for one that was slightly blue & wasn't pleased. Small grey prints as well as solids.

Oddly enough it is tough to find purples. When you do find them they tend to be abstract or retro. Not my thing. I want to make my daughter a quilt and I need a dk purple, a light background with purple design and a white. Still having a tough time finding it.

They're very different than anything else I have ever seen... and the sales rep said that they were very well-received at Quilt Market last fall.
i guess taste in fabrics is as individual as everything else. this fabric line does not appeal to me at all. beauty certainly is in the eye of the beholder.

I keep hearing grey is the new neutral, but I can't find a good selection of light grey on grey patterned fabric.

I search for grays, rich browns, orange oranges, sunny and true yellows, and true reds and don't find any of them that often.
