    Default Disappointed in Snowmen

    I waited for nearly 4 months for this snowmen on motorcycle panel to be stocked. Ordered 2 panels to make a biker quilt for a friend. Now that I received the panels, I'm disappointed because the colors on the panels looked very faded and washed out. Usually, panels are stamped and the colors are vibrant. I know I can return the fabric but doubt that I'll find it again.

    If I try to use it, I fear that any borders and other colors would be much brighter and accentuate the low luster color in the panels. Oh, well, I'm just bumbed...........

    I think it is a bad panel. Can you pm me and let me know where you got your panel? Thanks

    Those are adorable! I'm sorry you're not happy with it, but if it is a bad panel, maybe you can exchange it.

    I can exchange it. The problem is that they only have the same bolt, so replacement won't help. I need another source. Sent an e-mail and also one to Elizabeth's Studio, who produces the cloth. Maybe I'll get a response that makes me happy!

    Is it that just the one that is faded? Could you send a picture to them to get a replacement? I have a discount fabric store here and sometimes when they unroll the bolt it is discolored. Most times they will chop that off if I say sorry, won't do.

    No, Lorie, it's the same with all of the blocks and both panels. The first pic on the left is pretty accurate. I think my camera corrected some color on the other two blocks. They look better here than at home. I bought this online so wasn't able to see the colors first hand. I have my feelers out for replacement.
