Have you tried "touring" Hancock's of Paducah's
web sale fabrics? I find I am always amazed at the interesting combinations that get thrown up on the "by price" pages, because the fabrics aren't grouped in any particular way. Sometimes seeing a fabric orphaned from its original collection can spark an idea, or allow you to see the fabric differently. Plus, sale fabrics are affordable! I rarely get off those pages without making purchase...
