Very pretty fabrics, but not sure about the stripes. They look pretty bold.

I'd have a problem with the stripes! But that's me.

I was going to say " this looks like something Nancy Halvorsen did a few years ago" and then saw you mentioned her name. I love all the prints, including the stripes and plaids, and love all the colourways. I bookmarked this one so I'll remember to order some. I love her fabrics, and unfortunately my stash no longer has any, finally used up the last pieces.

Yuck on strips and plaids!! but that is just me... I never buy either really so I am sure others think they are fine.. I do like the colors & patterns & this is from someone that usually buys alot of batiks!!

Love this collection but would never buy the stripes, or the spatter and probably not the vine either. JMHO

I love the whole group - autumn leaves are my favorite colors - red orange rust and gold and green -mmm. Stripes as fabric I love- bold and interesting - but maybe for companion pillows? crosswise border? Stripe looks more like home decor fabric to me.
Opinion from humble beginning quilter who LOVES fabric.

Please let us know when this line is available - definitely want to order several pieces - including two of the stripe patterns. I love the boldness of the stripes. Thank goodness everyone doesn't like the same thing - it would be so boring.

Most of the fabric is lovely and will appeal to almost everyone - now, the stripes on the other hand would appeal to a select few. It would be a difficult decision trying to decide how much of each stripe print to carry although "some" is probably necessary.
