The fabric really is VERY cool. We carry it too; the butterflies are nearly gone and Hoffman is not reprinting them. The space and sea creatures were reprinted, so we just got another bolt of each this week. Our price is $9.25 / yard.

And... we put on the 3D glasses and took a look at our other fabrics, to see if there was anything else that was secretly 3D. What we found was that anything with a cool color background (blue/turquoise/green) with warmer-colored objects (yellow-orange-red), the warm tones just seemed to levitate up and away from the background of the fabric. Red the most, orange and yellow a little less. I think the most interesting effect was the puzzle pieces fabric by Timeless Treasures. The background was black, the blue, green, and cyan pieces "stayed down", and the yellow and red ones "jumped up". Unexpected (and fun)!

I had to go get my 3-D glasses (from a recent trip to Disney World with my granddaughters)to see what all the hype was about. The fabric is different, but I'd never pay that kind of money for it.

The 3D fabric is neat but just for the heck of it while looking at it I turned to look as some of the finished quilts on the wall and some of them had a 3D effect too. It just looks like a sales gimmic.
