I go for Kaufman fusions also but years ago P & B had a blender called Rambling Leaves. I used that exclusively for a very long time. Of coarse they quit making that particular one a while back.

I also like marbles. No brand loyalty on those. I have used Moda or P&B or any brand I find that works. And never underestimate the power of a good solid like Kona or Moda Bellas.

Ditto to everything in this post! Can never have enough Fusions-so many different tones of each color.

I really like Maywood's Shadow Play - mostly I get them from my LQS - they have a variety of colors and many different shades of each color - they really go well with many fabrics - I love how the look changes depending on the focus fabric chosen - for instance I can have a Shadow Play that looks purple - but if I pair it with another fabric it may look more pink - so it really changes everything up.

I'm a Shadowplay fanatic, but like others as well.

I like a fabric with white and cream in it- very hard to find!

I'm partial to marbled. I just bought some red tending towards black as a marble from Blank. I wanted something to frame a basically black and white panel that also had a few shades of red as accents and it was easier to go with a marble rather than trying to match one particular color.

this is the one I bought yesterday: http://www.blankquilting.com/blankqu...csBlenders.php

I bought it for the dragon fabric I bought from Joann's.

Moda Marble Swirls and Maywood Shadowplay are the two readily available to me. I will check at my downtown LQS for that blank line. I like that. The Moda Swirls are my favorite.
