I so appreciate you taking the time to post those pics of the fabric colors. They are beautiful! The unfortunate thing is, the young lady I am making this quilt for is into VERY PLAIN and non-bold fabrics. She likes fabrics that are very sedate looking where the pattern is almost not too visible. She is very into simple things that are not "loud" shall we say? And I found a black tone on tone with tiny cirliques on it and then a wine colored fabric with small swirlys on it. Both of the fabrics are very mild patterns that are fairly small. Then I found at Beverlys.com a gorgeous grey/silver looking cotton fabric that has swirly vines with teeny tiny leaves on it. I think those three fabrics would look perfect together.But I think I will check out the collection you mentioned for myself. I have wanted to make a quilt for myself and LOVE the two fabrics together!! So, while it won't work for the bride to be . . . It would be wonderful for me! Thanks for your help!!

They have a good range of colors and patterns.
I give them an A+++ :thumbup: :thumbup:

I too have been looking for b/w fabric with some gray. Recently I found some from Benartex and Red Rooster. You may be able to go to Quiltshops.com and type in gray and see what you can pull up.

The fabric I have doesn't say this. I think the issue is that it may have changed. Does anyone have any CURRENT link to show that it's USA grown? We know it's no longer USA made.

I have ordered a lot from Connecting Threads. It says right on the selvage that the cotton is USA. Love the fabric. Better than any I can buy locally.
