    I pick fabrics for color, how the other colors play with each other within the design and size of design not the design itself because most of my fabrics will be cut up to an almost unrecognizable form. May make a difference for those who do modern quilts--seems they use rather large pieces.

    I'm probably a bit weird, I don't mind animals or whatnot in any colour....but somehow flowers have to be in the "correct" colours i.e. I like pink elephants, but find blue roses irritating. Anyway enough of that....I love the fish fabric (in both colourways).
