My Moda salesman was here on Friday, tempting me with samples of all the fabric lines that were introduced a few days before at Quilt Market in Houston. I'm attempting to maintain a style of fresh, modern, designer fabrics to use in my quilts and sell in my etsy shop, so it was easy to say no to the traditional prints, reproductions, and soft, florals. Then came the hard part. There are SO many really great modern fabrics by really good designers.
Then, Michael Miller Fabrics called me yesterday afternoon to show me (via the web) all of their new fabrics from Market. Then I thought about all the Kona Cotton colors I need to reorder as my stock is getting low, and the colors I would like to add to my stock.
Not to mention Kaffe Fasset and Amy Butler...
Overwhelming? It wouldn't be if I could just buy it all, because it's all so pretty!
Being on a budget, like most people, I need to be selective and limit what I buy. (Until I win the lottery, lol.) It's still risky, though. What if I buy fabric and no one else likes it? Oh! The pressure! Haha.
Yes, I ordered some Moda lines. Won't see those for months, though. Needing something fresh for the shop now, and I've narrowed my options to two:
1. Restock the Kona Cottons that have been selling well and add 10 more colors. (Very tempting.)
or
2. Go out on a limb and order these Michael Miller fabrics, which I adore:
Which fabric would you most desire?

Okay it looks like it would be a toss up from the votes. But I would go with the Kona. I do like using solids in my quilts, and I think it helps to blend things out.
I heart, heart, heart Moda AND Reproductions.
Thanks for such a great giveaway :-)
