    Default Craftsy fabric

    I just received my first catalog from Craftsy. I would like opinions on the quality of the fabric. It is called Boundless and at first glance it is only quilt kits and pre cuts It is very pretty. A 79x102 kit is $116. on sale. Not much other info. is given that I see regarding backing although it is shown in the pictures.
    Just curious,
    Frankie

    Their fabric is from leading manufacturers and is good. I have some Boundless and like it. Sometimes backing is shown with the quilt kit pictures because you have the option to purchase it or not. I've never seen it included with the kit price.

    I like the boundless fabric. I've never purchased a kit with it.

    Is it the Reverie quilt kit? If you scroll down, you will see an option to purchase the backing fabric (under "recommended for this kit"). Not sure the exact same fabric as in the quilt photo is offered, though.

    I see when you select size, it's offered as kit or as kit with 8 yds binding. Whichever you choose will either include or not include extra for backing.

    I noticed that Craftsy is offering more of their Boundless brand in their sales, and less fabric of other brands. I've wondered if they plan to phase out offering other brands of fabric, and just sell the Boundless yardage and kits.

    I purchased yardage and a jellyroll of the Boundless botanicals. Beautiful colors, very nice fabric.

    I was wondering the same thing about this issue Joe's mom. I used to buy from Craftsy all the time but I was buying the name brand I have not bought the boundless fabric. But the quality of the fabrics I did purchase was great. I was trying to be a good girl and not buy any until next year. Ha!!

    Anyone notice how dark the magazine seemed to be? Black background on most of the pages. I really couldn't see the quilts the way they were photographed. Pretty pictures seemed to be more important then showcasing the quilts and fabric.

    Craftsy sales have been one of my big weaknesses, so I wasn't entirely sorry to see them carrying fewer bundles of the well-known brands -- less temptation!
