Thank you! Besides the line-up in the pictures, I also lined up several more sets from the 40-strip pack for future projects, but there are 3 strips that don't seem to fit in anywhere. (And they're ugly, to boot!)

Like you, I've not been a batik fan; they can run the gamut from really hideous to really fabulous. There is an "Island" line I saw on-line at Hancock's of Paducah; most of them fall into the really fabulous category and have me drooling.

The fabric you bought yesterday sounds like a great find!

I ordered from them once last year. The quality is fine, but watch the prices. Less than 24 hrs after I had sent my order out in the mail, I found the exact same fabric on another site for $2.71 less per yard.

I order nearly all my fabric from Keepsake Quilting and the quality is very good. I can recommend them anytime to everyone.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Love those batiks!

Share when you get your quilt together. I can't wait to see it :thumbup:

Thanks! I'll do it. It'll be quite a while yet because the non-quilting part of my life is intruding and will be for a while. On the other hand, I don't have all the fabrics I need for the Braid yet anyway.

The name of the shop is (Keepsake Quilting) :lol:

I am blessed to live only 15 minutes away, so I get to go often. This is a five star shop.

If you call the 1-800-865-9458 that is the distribution center, if you call 603-253-4026 you will talk to the woman who work in the shop, and who are quilters and know all about the product thay sell, and work with. If you have any questions; I would start there.

I have bought fabric from them through the catalog and it is beautiful. So expensive, but once in a while for a splurge sooo nice.

I shop at JoAnns a lot and here is a good rule of thumb - if they normally charge less than $8.50 or $9.00 don't think of using it for a quilt! Coupons are the way to save with them but your choices will be a bit limited.
Many of the online shops carry wonderful quality fabric and we will be happy to share our favorites.

This is true! The fabric at Keepsake Quilting is awesome. The Keepsake fabric at Joanns is not make by the folks at Keepsake quilting. I don't know who makes it, but it should be confused with what Keepsake Quiling sells.

Please, Please, Please don't confuse Keepsake Quilting catalog from NH with the Keepsake fabrics found at JoAnns. Not one in the same, No relation.
