LOL It would be nice if you could upload your own block, but even if you don't make one of the blocks that they have, you can still get an idea of how the fabrics will look together. I find it difficult to picture a block made from the fabrics that I have chosen. I need visuals.

I have been on this site for Shop Hop and everything seems to black, meaning if I click on red fabric, it shows up as black background with red. Am I missing something?

Fantastic site, have used it for years as fabric here in the UK is so EXPENSIVE and poor choices. Thousand of bolts is one of the best IMO

I have bought lots of fabric from them but never noticed the tool box. Saw your post and went there right away and played for a while. Thanks for sharing this.

I love websites with fabric to look at and buy, but a website with a play tool? I guess you know where I'll be the rest of the day. Thanks ever so much for the tip!

Have used them for about 7 years, I am in the UK and their prices and service are the best IMO

[QUOTE=Jackie R;6009042]Thanks - looks like lots of fabrics to choose from but I was going to buy three yards of fabric when I saw the shipping cost was $5.95 - six dollars seems like a lot to me for just three yards. Is that about normal for shipping costs? Or am I just stingy.

They stuff as much fabric as possible into a pre-stamped envelope (can't think of the right term) - AND they tell you if you can put more fabric in than you've already selected!
