I bought some of the butterfly and made it into a wall hanging for my grand daughter, she loves to put the 3D glasses on and look at it. I certainly didn't pay $15 a yard for it, it was only $9.95 a yard. It is just something different, just like everything else not for everyone but some of us really like it!!

I saw it too, but the price stopped me. You need to use the 3D glasses to get the whole affect.

Yes, I saw them and was totally UNDERWHELMED! For the price I think it is something I would reserve for a very special occasion, VERY special! It reminds me of taking my grandchildren to a movie, only to find out it is available only in 3D which means they get to charge an extra $3/ticket! And that to me is a total rip off.

Yes, I want to get some for pillowcases for two of my grandchildren. The owner of the shop also said that many of the novelty prints look almost like 3-D with the glasses. This shop charges $12.00 yard.

Santa's wish list comes to mind!

Our LQS has them. Didn't look at the price because I'm not interested in the fabric. With the glasses, though, I have to admit it was pretty cool!

I received a FQ of each one and a pair of 3-D glasses at a quilt retreat I was at last weekend. I made a little pouch for my great nephew (my nephew's son) and will put some little toys in it. It is a very cool fabric line. Not sure I'd do an entire quilt of it, but fun to make little bags out of it.

Quilt Artisians DO NOT NEED this type fabric. They very well create 3D pictoral quilts which do not need special glasses to view it at 3D.
This is the sillest thing I've ever heard and at best a good sales gimmic to get unsuspecting quilters to buy it when it would be almost cheaper or about the same price to take a class on creating 3D pictoral quilt tops. |
I'm thinking that it was not created for quilt artisans, but rather as a kid-pleasing novelty.
Gimmicky? Sure. But we're all surrounded by marketing gimmicks daily. It's just the way things are. |
