I've been looking at the website amma gave me and I really like a batik that I found on there. It the closest to the deep red/blood/garnet color that Deni likes. A "watercolor batik" (I'm assuming that's a type of batik---I'm not an expert on this type of fabric). I think it would work well.

I wish I had EQ so I could input this fabric into the design and see what it would look like (and see if it matches the image in my head). The Paint program only goes so far. *sigh*

They're having a sale on watercolor batiks right now (I think they're like $5 per yard), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to buy some within this sale---for once I have money and I have to save it for something else. Otherwise they're like $10.99 a yard! Is there a cheaper alternative?

Now that I think about it, with what I have in mind the quilt will end up looking similar to a batik I saw on thousandsofbolts.com
