    IF you look at the larger version she posted before, it is purple, not black. And I believe it is intended for the Spring Christian holidays. And it would be perfect for that. I recently did some potholders from purple, gold and black and am in love with the purple and gold combo....Great table runners, I'd say...

    I saw the sneak preview - Holiday Flourish 5 and I really like a lot of the fabric, including the Wineberry. However, I don't buy fat quarters; also, I think most or all of those flowers, etc., are too big for FQ.

    That fabric line is beautiful, too beautiful for FQ's, I'd want yardage!

    I would have to consider what has sold in the past - did you carry the Hoilday Flourish 3 or 4. If so did you buy the pre-cuts in those lines and how did they do. Personally I bought the Flourish 4 line and would not have bought FQs due to the size of the prints. Most of these have large motifs that don't lend themselves to small pieces.

    I rarely buy pre-cut fabrics as I cannot justify the cost for me.

    I usually buy multiple yardage when a fabric strikes my fancy. I'm definitely more into traditional Christmas color ways...that meaning I would be drawn to more reds ~ greens ~ gold. However, I think like others have said, when you are bit by that purple bug it's addicting! :0)

    I think that this line is lovely but simply by my color preference for Christmas fabric lines, I would probably would not buy yardage of this collection and definitely not any pre-cuts. JMHO

    I don't buy pre-cut fabric. There is never enough of what I need. I wouldn't buy it. But other might. It is very beautiful fabric.

    I would defintley by the fat quarters but also if you had yardage I would buy at least 2 yards of all. Not all of the fabric is of a holiday theme thus I feel like I could use for a whole lot more.
    Just love the fabric

    Somebody told me that this past Christmas (2011), everywhere they went, people were using purple in their decorations. I did not see it myself, but then I avoided all stores and shopped online and made my own gifts. I would not buy it personally. I like more traditional Christmas colors, with a little aqua thrown it, but that is just my taste.
