Fabulous Fabric Find!

I'm so excited about this fabulous new fabric I found shopping recently.  I've been feeling "nestish" lately, itching to do some spring cleaning, and really wanting a few new things for my house. I am so lucky that I live in close proximity to some great outlet malls, so when I had some spare time, I took the drive over the Piscataqua Bridge over to Kittery, Maine for a little window shopping and "off price" retail therapy.  While I was there I stopped into one of my all time favorites, the Crate and Barrel Outlet Store, where I found this little gem.

I only realized on my previous trip to the Crate and Barrel Outlet Store that they carried fabric, and for the bargain price of $5.00 per yard. And while I didn't find anything there on that trip, this time I scored 7 yards of the above Marimekko fabric, which normally retails for $39.00 per yard.  Marimekko has long been one of my favorite (yet so elusive!) fabrics and I couldn't believe my luck. Pus I love the colors. Talk about exciting!

I'm still not sure what I will do with it, and it remains uncut. My first thought was a shower curtain. But I began looking at my sad and depressing bedroom and realized it has been virtually untouched since our move.  I don't have quite enough to make curtains and a duvet. But if I pair another fabric and use this as an accent center panel on the duvet, I may have just enough.  I will let you know what I decide and will hopefully post some pics when I am through!
