Those are batiks, try www.fabricfanatics.com in Plano Texas. I bought some batiks there got them home and needed more. I sent them a few close up photos and they found the one I needed and I ordered it online. The entire store is batiks, amazing store, great customer service.

They are batiks. There are several shops online that only sell batiks: Batiks Plus (https://www.batiksplus.com/), Batiks etc. & Sew What fabrics (http://batiks.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi), Batiks Galore (http://www.batiksgalore.com/), as well as Hancock's of Paducah and eQuilter, which both have large selections of batiks.
The peacock print is definitely Hoffman and I found it at Batiks plus (http://www.batiksplus.com/SuperStore...ProductID=7821). The middle one is called Geo by Hoffman (found at Batiks Plus), but not in that color. They probably have the other one as well. They are marked as retired, but they have them.

Those are older batik lines. I actually have two of them in my stash and I got them over two years ago. You may have difficulty finding more. The one on the far left I believe was a Timeless Treasure Tonga batik and the one on the far right may have been a Moda batik. But I got them so long ago I can't remember for sure.

Hi, I'm trying to find out a type of material for my aunt. She has three fat quarters (shown in the pictures), and she wants to make a quilt out of them (shes an experienced quilter), but she needs more material of similar color scheme. We are wondering if there is a name to the type of material she already has, or more specifically, a name to the pattern or colour scheme of the material. I tried looking it up myself and came up short, I don't really know much about quilting. I'm sure people have used this type of material in quilts before, it looks like it could be used or a deep oceany sort of quilt. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone knows a good pattern for this type of quilt, it would definitely give my aunt a good place to start!

That's one of the great things about batiks - it's very easy to find other prints that work well with what you already have.

There is a collection of fabrics that would set those off just dandy. I do not remember the company, but the collection is called "Stonehenge". I just know one of the wonderful members here will know who makes it, and has a better memory for such things than me. Anyone have the answer to share? (Thanks folks). You can try to google "Stonehenge fabric collection" to find it. This whole collection reminds me of your fabric. Good luck dear.

I just saw a post online today that reminded me of this one. It linked to a book about using neutral batiks as the background for brightly colored wool applique. It looks absolutely stunning! Here's a link if you're interested in checking out some ideas:
