Are you already obsessing for the co-op? Your photoshopping is cracking me up. Lordy! I hate to even think of the planning you'll do for Leela's wedding! ;)

I love those fabrics too. I want the flowery one with the stripey trim and a solid corduroy bottom...

Is there going to be a co-op?? I was going to do the 10% discount thingy!!

Instead of planning for Leela's first birthday party, i am in denial and distracting myself by designing bags in photoshop!!!
You know how on the Timbuk2 website you can design your bag and see how it looks.. wouldn't it be great if Kim's website could do that too?? Hint hint... Kim... seriously, you would get TONS of more customers... if they are like me and like to see before buying! :)

My husband and I actually have talked about this because you know he is one of those computer geeks, ie software engineer. If this is something that continues to grow and I continue to love it then it sure is a possibility!

Most people may not know this but you can also cut and paste fabric swatches in Word too. I believe equilter.com also has a pallette and on quilthome.com you can actually see an inch by inch view of the fabric you choose.

I love first birthday parties! I plan way in advance. My youngest sons was done at Animal Kingdom in WDW.

I absolutely love this whole line of fabrics (Kim is making me a bag with some of them as we speak), but my favorite combo is #3. I love that stripe and floral combo! I am using the stripe in my bag as well. But I think you will be happy with any of them honestly :)

I really like #3. I had already picked that out for myself. At least the 2 fabrics. I hadn't decided on a trim yet.

Eeek! Rashmi, I like them ALL! :) I have a bag on the way in the bottom fabrics of your choices 6 & 7. I think I might like #1 & #5 the best. Very hard decision. :)

Rashmi,
I like the ginger flowers on top with the stripes on the bottom (going vertically) or the paisley on the top with the stripes on the bottom. I always try to get one large print with one small pattern (a floral or paisley with a stripe or check) or a large pattern and a solid. It makes it easier on me to do the whole process of elimination thing!

Rashmi,

I love your fabric choices! They are all ones I would (and probably will) order for myself! My very faves are the first one from your original post and then the last 3 from the more recent selections. These fabrics are all so gorgeous,and I have no idea how I will ever decide either!

Hi Rashmi. I love this fabric grouping too (and after seeing Juliet's bag, I'm totally hooked). I actually like the large floral that you have on your Photoshop bag with the stripes on the bottom instead of the paisley. To me, the floral against the paisley is just a bit busy. You COULD include the paisley by having that as the interior fabric.

At any rate, you can't go wrong. These are such beautiful fabrics. To me, they are the prettiest I've seen offered!

lol...you are doing great and have even gone beyond my effort of putting fabrics together with your 3d look. LOVE the fall colors. i'd say stick to two fabrics. my vote would be for the floral one with the stripes!

My two favorites are the very first one at the top! I love that one. My second favorite is the one with curry sun dahlias on the top, brown strip and the curry bermuda stripes at the bottom.

Thos two are excellent choices. It's addicting, isnt it? I want another bag so bad! I want I want I want!

I agree with Lisa. I think the paisley is too busy next to the floral. The stripes would look great on the bottom.

Thanks for sharing, I love your choices. I plan to order that one for myself. My 2 girls are in the process of designing their own bags, too. How fun!

I love these two!!! Didn't care for any in the first grouping.

Good luck selecting your fabrics!
