    I have bought quite a bit on line if you PM me I can send you a few listings just dont have them readily availble to type in here. I use a lot of it on many different things. I just bought a SW clock for my dining room and notice the curtains dont go so bought a beautiful print of indian baskets at Hobby Lobby and am currently making them. Also did placemats from different prints.

    I have several pieces of Southwest fabric! I'm using some in a memory quilt I'm making. Other pieces are finding their way into items in our living room...it's decorated in Native
    American and wolves.

    I live in New Mexico, and I don't have much SW stash left. I've used so much already, and still will buy.

    I have a lot of it. I also have quite a few southwest machine embroidery patterns too. Chili peppers are my thing.

    I'm in the Midwest too and love making quilts for my daughter and SIL who are into all things SW, Mexican and South American. They love the ethnic quality of many of the prints.

    I also would like to make an Aborgianal theme quilt. They have lots of it at Wally World. Put on to do list. I have a bag with the southwest themed in it & pattern but life & housekeeping keep getting in my way.

    I have many Native geometric style prints. I dislike that anything with an Indian print on it is called South West because There are Indian tribes everywhere. A little research by the fabric designer would be nice. But I love prints with Plains beadwork (not many of those) if it is done correctly. There are many prints called South West that show people dressed in a mix of different tribal clothing or a mix of actual South West items and Plains and then it's called Navajo. I am not making Fabric a political issue.....just my observations about the Native American/SouthWest lines. So I pretty much stick to the general geometric patterns I find here and there.

    Here is an interesting article about kokopelli:
