If you right click on the fabric swatch online, usually you can save the jpg.

EQuilter.com swatches seem to show true colors of fabric, plus they have a design wall. Though many great fabric sites on the web, I've had issues buying on-line then finding the color was not as it appeared. Just a note of caution. You could use them to double check swatches. Sorry you must buy on-line, good deals but IMO seeing fabrics, feeling their hand, and then auditioning fabrics together at a store can't be beat.

Some of the fabrics have printed circles along the selvege of the colors used in making it. Use those to find fabrics in those colors and you are practically guaranteed a wonderfully coordinated quilt top.
