These perfectly cut, gorgeous fabric strips are a game-changer for me. I ordered several "flavors" including the Tourmaline but they are all uniquely beautiful. Perfect for wrapping rope to make colorful, unique items. Yes, they are a bit spendy, but they more than make up for that in convenience, saving time and cutting labor. The quality and batik appearance of the finished product is a huge upgrade from using regular quilting store fabric and cutting into strips. I'll definitely be placing another order, and I look forward to seeing what new patterns/colors become available... Would love to see more teals and greys in color options:)
