Not a one I don't like!

luvTooQuilt 09-03-2010 09:39 AM

I love them all but if i HAD to choose Id get all but the bottom two...

pab58 09-03-2010 10:34 AM

I'm not real crazy about the Pumpkin and Harvest ones, but I'm sure they would make a beautiful quilt if used in the right way. :wink:

IBQUILTIN 09-03-2010 10:37 AM

I want 3 yards of each.

quilter on the eastern edge 09-03-2010 10:37 AM

I like them all, especially emerald and caribbean. I don't think that I would buy harvest, though. But they sure are pretty to look at.

madelinkk 09-03-2010 10:40 AM

They're all gorgeous.

daisey 09-03-2010 10:41 AM

i like them all but pansy carribean and emerald? are my favorite

Jim's Gem 09-03-2010 10:49 AM

Pansy, Carribean, Emerald. those would be my fav's

Favorite Fabrics 09-03-2010 11:41 AM

Is it because batiks look "watery" that the blues are the hardest to resist? (And the other jewel tones...)

Grama Lehr 09-03-2010 11:42 AM

Don't make me pick just one! :cry:

Joan 09-03-2010 11:44 AM

Pansy, carribean----all of them are very pretty
Personally, I would have a hard time deciding which to order for my shop (if I had one).

sahm4605 09-03-2010 11:44 AM

the last three are pretty but not my faves. it just depends on what i am going to use them for and for whom.

mom-6 09-03-2010 11:52 AM

I love 'em all! Most likely to buy emerald, carribean, pansy and purple because they are my favorite colors, but I don't always just buy my favorites since some of the friends I make things for have other favorites...like pink and orange.

daniellern76 09-03-2010 12:30 PM

Purple, Pansy and Carribean are my top 3 faves.

kristen0112 09-03-2010 12:37 PM

my favorites, pansy, emerald and harvest. they are awesome!

candi 09-03-2010 01:30 PM

I personally like them all. But I am color person.

chewboo 09-03-2010 03:44 PM

Ditter43 09-03-2010 03:53 PM

No! That's one of the things I like about it!! You could use that fabric in a lot of ways..... :-D

AnnaK 09-03-2010 04:21 PM

Love pansy and primary the best. The others are nice too. Primary would make a beautiful sunset background.

fktsewing 09-03-2010 04:47 PM

I love the "evening" and "caribbean" ones the most.

M. Wills 09-03-2010 04:49 PM

Impossible to choose which one I like best. They are all so gorgeous.

barnbum 09-03-2010 04:53 PM

First choice would be Caribbean, then Emerald, then Evening sky, then Pumpkin, then Primary, then Harvest....

Purple and pansy are the only two I wouldn't buy. That was fun! Do it again. :-D

Favorite Fabrics 09-03-2010 06:25 PM

Glad you're having fun with these color questions!

Do it again? Gee... I could do this endlessly, with all the new collections that keep coming out!

badjujumama 09-03-2010 06:56 PM

Caribbean and Purple are my top picks and Primary is my least favorite. Thanks

coastienest 09-03-2010 07:05 PM

Love them all, but Pansy, carribean and harvest are my favorites. Taking a class this week, sure wish I had the harvest to go with me for one of my fabric choices in the project.

tooMuchFabric 09-03-2010 09:04 PM

They are batiks. What's not to like!
I love the striated patterns.

Venus 09-03-2010 10:00 PM

I vote for the Caribbean :)

sandilee 09-03-2010 11:36 PM

I like the caribbean. The primary is my least favorite.

calicocat 09-04-2010 03:53 AM

they are batik's they all float my boat and blow my dress up

rhona hodgson 09-04-2010 04:05 AM

I like them all but i think purple, evening and pumpkin dont hav as much variegation in their color. Cheers

hdqltr 09-04-2010 04:08 AM

I've been looking for fabrics like these -- which manufacturer are they from? I'm working on the "Hop to It" pattern, and it uses batik stripes in the setting cornerstones between the blocks. My LQS doesn't have a big selection. My favorite it Purple!

happy sewer 09-04-2010 04:46 AM

I like all of them.

quilt3311 09-04-2010 04:49 AM

I won't be a lot of help here, I like them ALL. Great backgrounds for landscape designs.

Up4BigChal 09-04-2010 04:50 AM

Pansy & Evening Beautiful

oldswimmer 09-04-2010 05:07 AM

Are these fabrics you will have for sale? I really would like to get some of the emerald, and possibly caribbean for a project.

DoxieMom 09-04-2010 05:22 AM

I like the first 5 best.

Yankee in Texas 09-04-2010 05:35 AM

ALL of them!! Beautiful ones they are!! :>)

SUSAN 09-04-2010 05:52 AM

they all 'float my boat' !!! :thumbup:

foxxigrani 09-04-2010 06:01 AM

I love love love them all, and agree can never have to many batiks. I searched and searched for batiks for that in blue to make a quilt for my hubby. I finally found one piece. I couldn't believe how hard it was to find. I don't care to much for the traditional batiks with all the leaves etc designs. But beings they are batiks, of course you know I have some. Love them would take all.
