according to my lqs owner the bottom fabric, purple, is a 'blender'. i had never heard of blender fabrics until i was in her shop about ten years ago looking for a tone on tone or something like it that i could use on diaper bag with changing pads for a friend expecting her first (and only
) baby. her whole inventory of 'blender' fabrics were like the purple ..marbled looking, mottled ..no micro prints, no tonal print like tone on tone. no images of anything like flowers, stars etc. just look like swirling colors. i don't have one handy or i'd post a pic. i seldom if ever use them. don't know why ..i just don't. they sort of 'read' as solids and i prefer calico style or large florals, or striped prints in my quilts.
