    Fine backing. Looks like stained glass.

    I think it looks sort of batik like or is it just the picture? Perhaps with some bright batik pattern on the print or used as blenders with bright batiks....What do you think...

    Wonderful for bringing colors together with the varied colors in it, and can be used as a filler for patterns without too much business as well. Lots of good uses for such a blend. Don't worry...show it to a few of your gal friends and they'll find uses for it as well. I love good buys, too.

    How funny! My husband was sitting here in my office while I browsed the forum, and before I read your post, I said to him, "Do you know what this reminds me of - a big hairy ape's belly, see there's the belly button!" LOL! But seriously, I also agree with others' comments that it would make beautiful butterfly wings and small pieces of it to work into quilt blocks. Score!! :thumbup:

    Just have anyone who looks at it put on a pair of glasses that have had the glass part smeared with something

    Seroiusly, it doesn't look ugly to me but I found another person who lets the cheap price rule the decision whether to buy or not

    Yes, I was one of those that loved the fabric and you were so kind to share with me. You're a peach! Thanks again. :o)

    I like it. Would be pretty with a pink and blue to accent it.
