I haven't really seen great/inspiring fabrics lately, but have purchased some batiks to go with focus fabrics of a couple years ago. The place where I've found exciting fabrics in the past couple years is in the London houses. Woodrow has gone out of business, unfortunately, but Fabric Freedom has some good fabrics. I really don't like the modern fabrics with glaring colors. I saw these used together in a quilt entered in a major show a year or so ago, and the comments it got were not flattering. One woman said, "Why bother?" (I was white gloving.)
