I like to see the design in the pattern not a jumble of fabrics thrown togather.
Whats with all these huge prints also? I cant figure out how to use them. Very bright colors and large prints are not my style.
I have been canceling my mags as they become due as there is nothing in them that I like.
Its getting hard to find smaller prints in nice colors so when I do find one I grab it up. I could not find any Christmas fabrics this year at all, they were all large prints or odd colors.
I live in Phoenix with lots of quilt shops to choose from but find very little to buy.
Any one else feel this way or am I just behind the times and stuck in my ways?
