Default A Place to buy fun fabrics?

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to have some roman shades made for my family room, and I'm looking for a fun fabric - maybe some type of paisley or floral. I want something different and bright. Do any of you have any ideas. I went to several stores in San Diego, but I didn't find anything. I've googled several different key words and looked at several sites, but nothing is standing out for me. Of course, Potterybarn has a few fabrics that I love, but they don't offer those fabrics in fabric by the yard or drapes.

Thanks for any suggestions that you can offer.
Renee

I love Amy Butler fabric so I would check her stuff out. I don't know if it for drapes.
Hope that helps!

I like Fat Quarter Shop - Moda Fabrics, Quilt Fabric, Quilting Fabric, Quilt Kits, Online Quilting Fabrics & FREE Quilt Patterns. It has a lot of fun fabrics... I've used many for quilts and they are so pretty! A lot is bundled up specifically for quilting but you can buy most by the yard as well!

If you are looking for drapery fabric you might try Calico Corners. The nice thing about fabric made for the home industry is that it is usually 54 in wide and requires less seams. Atlanta is a wonderful place for home textiles, my favorite is called Lewis and Sharon and they have a great website ls.fabrics.com. Have fun looking!
