Joann Fabrics is going out of business - which ironically at least quadrupled the cost of the piece. (They normally have 40% off coupons, which aren't being honored. So the fabrics were 20% off, but you had to buy a yard if the fabric was on a bolt - and I only needed a quarter of a yard.)

So I had to compromise on the fabric I picked out in order to make it affordable and buy "fat quarters" - a pre-cut quarter yard measured by cutting a yard of fabric into four fat rectangles, rather than 4 long skinny ones. That limited my selection - and what they had most of which fit together reasonably well were batiked fabrics. Some are actual batik (or at least tie-died) like the yellow and the greener of the blue-green fabric. Some are a repeated batik-like prints - the fjord.

The batik fabrics accepted the mod-podged headlines better than the others, so that was a happy surprise.
