I don't know if this site has been mentioned before. It is Spoonflower.com. It is all expensive, but fantastic. They are original artists. Hundreds of designs. At $18 a yard, I couldn't afford to make an entire quilt, but as a focus fabric it will be great. I already have some picked out for my next quilt. Type in something like fishing and sit back and enjoy the artists creativity.

I just went to the site and not all are in that $18 per yard range. I just randomly clicked on prices and found $10.50 to be common also. Just didn't want to have folks avoid this site with some interesting fabric choice based on price alone.

I used a chocolate glazed donut fabric from them as some of the windows in the Attic Windows quilt I made for my DH's retirement gift. I fussy-cut 5 of them and everyone thought it was so great! He retired from the local police department after 23 years.

This is only expensive relative to where you live. Our prices are $26 per metre on average so even with U.S. postage, it is still cheaper. The prices to post from here are about 5 times more expensive from my experience.

While I agree that Spoonflower's designs are gorgeous, I haven't been thrilled with the quality. Before you invest in yardage, you might want to order a swatch of your fabric, and give it a wash. unless they have changed in the last year or two, I haven't found the colors to be very colorfast. I would be thrilled to find out they have improved their quality! then again, I'd go broke.
