    I can tell by the avatars that some of you are fond of iris flowers. These are new from Timeless Treasures.

    Which one do you like better? Light or dark?

    You only have a picture of the light - but I love it. Beautiful fabric.
    Okay - now the dark is there - but I like the light better. More spring like.

    Considering that the purple iris is Tennessee's State Flower, I am partial to the purple., but would definitely use both in a quilt... Thanks for showing the new line,.

    I would love to get some of the dark iris on black.

    can you give me the name of it on the side of the fabric with pattern #, etc.

    Those are beautiful. I might have to pick up some yardage of both of those when they come out!!!
    I may lean a little more towards the dark because it really sets of the purple and I have several other floral fabrics with the black background. But I would buy both!!!

    Oh, the dark, definitely! When I saw the light one, I thought, "Oh, pretty fabric." Then I scrolled down and said, "Wow!! That really pops! Just beautiful!

    I love the dark and I would pair it up with light sage green, light yellow and medium green sage. I think it would be beautiful!!!!!!
