Happy Poetry (Fabric) Month! Vote for your favorite literary fabric designs

[Poetry month moves in from the left... The next Fabric Of the Week contest approaches from the right... They collide and fall together in a tangle]

"Hey, you got poetry on my fabric!"

"You got fabric all over my poetry!"

[pause to admire all 100 entries in this week's contest... Expressions of delight]

"Mmmmm, these look great!"

For this week's contest we tried an experiment [not quite on a par with the Civil Rights Toile contest, but still a bit of a stretch] and asked designers to come up with fabrics inspired by particular poems. We asked each entrant to list the poem and poet that inspired the design in the description of the fabric (which is accessible by link from each the contest previews). Was the experiment a success? You'll have to be the judge!
