who is the manufacturer?

These are new additions to Elizabeth's Studio's "Landscape" line. I don't think they are in stores yet. I can't believe I overlooked them; usually I keep right up to date on anything by Elizabeth's Studio because I love the quality of their printing (very high detail). Never "fuzzy-looking".

I really like the black and can think of
lots of ways to use it on an art quilt.
The blue is nice too but black is my favorite.

I think I would prefer it in a deep indigo blue instead of either of these colors.

It's a terrific Halloween background - I'd affix some 3-D small-scale bats, maybe a silhouette of a witch....

A friend of mine made a "night quilt" - she painted over the moon with some clear fabric paint with superfine glitter, put in some streaks of moonlight using the same stuff mixed with a tad of grey, and "frosted" the other quilt components with it as well. It was a scenic quilt with lots of applique. Hard to explain, but she's a tremendously talented artist.

Love them both! blue for one of my Hawaii landscape quilts, and the black one for Halloween background or as background for a real jewel toned quilt. Love them! Virg

The black doesn't look gloomy to me, just uninteresting.
I like the blue.

Love the Black!Remember you will have to appeal to ALL kind of quilters! I have recently purchased all black and gray fabric to make a quilt for a friend whom likes "the dark side".So I'm asking that you might keep that in mind please.Thanks in advance!
