Attention all you modern quilters....
I know you're out there! I'm really interested in making a few modern quilts and am especially interested in the one on page 96 of the book "Sunday Morning Quilts" by Cheryl Arkison and Amanda Jean Nyberg. It's a scrappy quilt that calls for low volume fabrics with light or neutral backgrounds and interesting designs. The overall effect is a soft palette, and therein lies my problem.
I'm not able to obtain these modern fabrics locally, so I'm wondering if there are any good websites that offer these lovely graphic designs. Perhaps there are certain designers that I could look for on Fabric.com or Thousandsofbolts.com. I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment, so I thought I'd tap into your collective wisdom.
There are sooo many lovely quilts in this book and I am eager to get started, but first I need some great fabrics! Hope you can help me out here!

Here are websites that offer low-volume fabric bundles:

http://www.fatquartershop.com/store/...rent_Ids=0,881
These should give you some ideas of manufacturers and fabrics.
