    Default Which Fabric for Portraits on Spoonflower

    I'm doing a memory quilt for my niece, which will have over 35 photos on it! I've always used the petal cotton for my quilted wall hangings but it appears too thin for my photos as you may see through it.

    Which fabrics on Spoonflower do you recommend for Photos and why? Thank you, yolajean

    I used the petal signature cotton for the three that I made for a memory quilt. They turned out perfect and VERY true to color.
    I did not have a problem with see-through.

    I’ve used the petal signature cotton and the cotton sateen- both turned out great. The cotton sateen has a shimmer to it, a it’s a little different but beautiful.

    I ordered two pieces of fabric to use as facemasks for family. The fabric was so rough and dull (color wise) that I'll never order again. Good luck in your project, maybe what they use for color portraits is totally different. Can you ask for a sample to be mailed to you?
