As I have said, the genius of that pattern is the interesting way it allows large prints to be showcased. This version, however, shows a different way the pattern can be used and has the feel of the fabric in the store.<\/p>\n<p>There was a class going on in the back room. I am not sure what the class was about, but it might have been some type of beginning class. I was pleased to see that there were a relatively large number of people in the shop.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16770\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16770\" style=\"width: 257px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Z_2013-02-09-13.20.18sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16770\" alt=\"OWQS Fabric &amp; Patterns\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Z_2013-02-09-13.20.18sm-257x300.jpg\" width=\"257\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Z_2013-02-09-13.20.18sm-257x300.jpg 257w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Z_2013-02-09-13.20.18sm-878x1024.jpg 878w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Z_2013-02-09-13.20.18sm.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 257px) 85vw, 257px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">OWQS Fabric &amp; Patterns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The tone of the shop was more Hoffman, smallish prints and florals, which is not to say they didn&#8217;t have great fabric. I found a dot I liked and a black on white that I might use for a project brewing in my head. The really nice dot I found was purple. The purple color reminds me of violet, but it is darker.
