I' going to make a quilt as a surprise retirement gift. She is a geologist and lives rocks. She likes blues and greens. The only rock fabric I can find comes in greys or browns.The fabric from spoonflower is mostly green. (http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/31...-by-elramsay3M ). Mixed with batiks I think it would be beautiful.

I've been ordering from Spoonflower since 2009. I've ordered their printed fabric, uploaded pics to imprint on swatches for picture quilts, designed my own quilt labels, tea/dish towels with recipes printed on them, etc, even gift wrap.
The Kona Cotton Ultra is best I've found for quilting, the weave is tighter/closer.
It's very pricey tho, to me. They do have some great designs, yes, But unless I was designing my own (and I've never had anything printed larger than a swatch 8x8 @5.00 or a FQ at 10.50) I would find a print/design elsewhere.
Just recently received a swatch booklet of their fabrics/wallpaper/gift wrap. Yes, if you have time, It would be a good idea to order the samples.

When first I found out about Spoonflower, I ordered one of their stock issues on quilting fabric.
It disappointed me in every way: colors not as depicted (reds came out pink) quality of fabric poor.
I hope they have changed for the better.
