I spent too many hours searching for beautiful screenprinted fabrics and organic linens, but, I added up the cost and decided that it was perhaps not wise to spent $300+ on fabrics for the front of a quilt for my first attempt... maybe next time I've cheated slightly and bought pillowcases from the Pop by Sheridan range (helpfully on 50% off sale) to use as my patterned fabric and I think I'll use a grey as my plain fabric. Fingers crossed it works!
