    The orange and blue koi, I bought about 2 years ago. I only bought a yard, went back a few days later to get more and it was gone! But, I did find the orange to match with it. Not sure what I will do with the koi and the other blue with the birds on it tho. Just too pretty to cut.

    edit...I just noticed I didn't post the blue with the birds. Here we go....

    Oh they are beautiful.......the colors are so rich. Are they cotton? I would definitely take a small slice of each and make a wall hanging.I see a fan. :D

    Those are unique fabrics. I can't wait to see what you make. After so many years of buying small prints and cutting them into small pieces, I'm starting to look for patterns where I can use bigger pieces. That's what led me to what I called "Sunny Day." It needs one fabric for a larger square, and 5 coordinating ones to make into strips and be cut the same size as the square--it's so easy and they look awesome.

    The eyeball one has me stumped--but you will think of something--of that I have no doubt. :wink:

    I have always loved Japanese themed things, especially with the bright bold colors.
    Yes, all the fabric IS cotton,,,none are blends.

    I have no clue as of yet what I am going to do with this stuff. Like I said...just too pretty to cut.

    The one with the eyeballs, I bought to do a kids quilt using Yellow Brick Road pattern. For some reason, when I went to get the rest of the fat quarters I was looking for, nothing matched the eyeballs, so it's just in my stash.
