Fabric That Makes My Heart Flutter

I recently added some fabric covered journals to my shop.  I purchased the fabric from Moona Fabrics.  I've been using the fabric to cover some new case bound journals in the shop.  Like this one:

Colorful Case Bound Journal

And this one:

Blue Case Bound Notebook

These are some of my favorite journals I've done.  I think it's because of the lovely feel of the fabric on the covers & their beautiful colors!  I LOVE color!

I'm now crushing on so many more beautiful fabrics.  I want to buy LOTS & make miiilllions of fabric covered journals.  (Um, you can make this possible by buying one... or 7, or 12 or whatever, so that I'm FORCED to make more... hehe!)

I buy fat quarters, usually in bundles, because I don't need much to cover a journal, and I like variety, so I don't really want to make 50 journals that all look exactly the same with the same fabric just because I have to use it all.  With one fat quarter piece I can make about 3 journals (depending on their size).  Here's a sampling of packages that I've had in my "shopping cart" still resisting the urge to hit the "buy" button.  I don't think I'm gonna last much longer though.

A local (to me in SE Michigan) seller Pink Castle Fabrics has some really fun, blogger-selected fat quarter packs that I'm loving:

Holly's Road Trip Bundle by Holly from Bijou Lovely

Orange You Glad Bundle by Just a Bit Frayed
What's Cookin' Bundle by Kiss Kiss Quilt

How cool are those right?

I've also discovered some great & fairly inexpensive bundles from a lovely little shop called Hawthorne Threads that I found by accident:

Summerlove Fat Quarter Bundle in Sunkissed

Dress Up Days Fat Quarter Bundle in Grape
Flying Free Fat Quarter Bundle

Apple of My Eye Fat Quarter Bundle in Red

Do you know any other great online shops from which to by packs of fat quarter bundles?  Which ones of the options above are your favorites?  Help a girl out & let me know which you think would be best gracing the covers of some new journals!
