But definitely life enhancing.Fat Quarter Bundles:This line by Alexia Abegg for Cotton and Steel is based on block prints--it would make amazing bags. And if I post it here, maybe I won't buy it. Everyone needs a little Rifle Paper Co fabric in their lives.Insignia by Alison Glass has the same vibrant colors with a more minimalist pattern. And I love her color + color Sun Print 2017 collection!Are pre-cuts your style? I've always loved the Elizabeth Hartman Kona Roll Up. You could use it to make my Portland Square quilt, and it would be amazing. Just saying. There is also a Fat Quarter Bundle.Other Favorite Fabrics out there right now:Floral Retrospective by Anna Maria Horner! I'm almost done with a dress for my daughter in one of the prints.Blueberry Park 2: I love Karen Lewis' work!Cotton and Steel NoelConey Island by Fig TreeBatting:I love having batting on hand, and this Quilters Dream Select Batting is my favorite, unless I want a really warm quilt, and then I use the wool batting.Quilt Backing:I use 108'' wide fabric on almost everything bigger than a baby quilt, these days (you don't have to piece the back!) I've used this print on a few quilts. Highly recommend.
