    My soon to be 8 year old son is asking me to make curtains for his room that have something to do with a lab either microscopes,test tube ,beakers something he wants his room to look like a lab. He loves science and we've been trying to come up with something for over a year any help would be appreciated

    Wow that's a tough one. Can't say I've ever seen anything like that but then again I wasn't looking either. It's funny the things they can come up with. Good luck in your search.

    I don't know if any of these is exactly what you're looking for, but maybe they can help?

    Also, have you thought about printing your own squares on fabric (like on Printed Treasures)? You can download scientific images or clipart and print them and incorporate the blocks into a quilt.

    There is a site on line that you can design your own fabric and they will print it. Don't know what the cost is but I do know it is out there.

    This is "Grade School Science" which features bugs in jars. Not exactly what you're looking for.

    Still looking for your laboratory fabric but in the meanwhile this site is awesome for novelty fabrics!

    I see someone already knew about this site. I bookmarked it for me!
