Voting in the final round of the Fabric8 contest, a competition from Spoonflower and Robert Kaufman Fabrics to discover a handful of the world's best amateur textile designers, is pretty much wrapped up. We'll announce the winner on Thursday. If you'd like a closer look at the seven coordinates that each designer created to go with their original entries, browse all the lovely prints in our Fabric8 Flickr set.
If you've got a favorite, share it with us in your comment below (or on the relevant Facebook post) and you'll be entered in a drawing to win a fat quarter bundle of your favorite collection out of the top 8. As always, please include your Spoonflower name or some other means of tracking you down easily in case you're our winner. Entries close next Tuesday, 6/19 and we'll announce a winner on 6/20. Good luck, everyone–and please do vote if you haven't done so already! This giveaway is now closed and we'll be announcing a winner shortly.
Last week's winner of a Violette Field Threads pattern of her choice plus two yards of Spoonflower fabric was Rachel Booth. Congrats, Rachel, and I hope you make something pretty!
I really love CJLDesigns The Scented Garden! The flowers and birds are so pretty!! (robyriker)
I have several, Dust Bunnies is the most orignal.
I like the Sea Garden the best. I love the black and white patterns in the Painted Petals collection – but the radial designs in Sea Garden remind me of the drawings of a girl I used to know with Down Syndrome. I always loved her pictures!
Scented Garden has been my favorite all along… and now the collection completed is truly a work of art…
I love Flight Patterns, but they are all terrific.
It’s really difficult to choose just one. I really like the colours in the Sea Garden range, and the birds in scented garden are just beautiful. I also really like the Sweet Juicy Chevron in the Breezy Blooms collection. If I have to choose just one, I love the bold, graphic style of Painted Petals the best. My Spoonflower name is solomonsewing.
I like the Anderson Lee: Painted Petals
I love those quilty triangles – second from the left on the bottom row 🙂
Painted Petals is my fave, although they’re all wonderful! Thanks for the giveaway. My Spoonflower name is WandaFish 🙂
Afternoon tea by Heather Dutton. (khowardquilts)
Sea garden is great.
Sea Garden and Flower Garden are tied as my favs, but I love all the collections. The colors and designs are super fun. Way to go!!! My email is lea(underscore)elina(at)yahoo(dot)com. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I really love Sea Garden, Flower Garden is also fantastic. These collections are all beautiful and fun. My email is lea(underscore)elina(at)yahoo(dot)com. Thanks for the giveaway!
Breezy Blooms is the only collection I would want all of. There were several that I would want one or two from like the Tea Tins and Spoons and a few more. larmenti at bellsouth dot net
I love Heather Dutton’s collection ‘ Afternoon Tea’! (amel24)
Printed Petals!
Dappled Migration had me from hello!
It was a really hard choice, so many pretty collections, but in the end CLJ Designs won my heart.

My fave is CJLDesigns: The Scented Garden: Garden at Twilight. Awesome.
I really love Kayajoy’s Flight Patterns!! With CJL Design’s Scented Garden in close second 🙂
I absolutely love the fabrics, but my favorite has to be the painted petals. Thanks!
Love them all! But Scented Gardens is my favorite!
They’re all beautiful, but the Scented Garden is my absolute favorite! (jenimp)
I love all of the designs! Coordinated patterns help me a LOT. I’ve just started making pillowcases for ConKerr Cancer, and so keep an eye out for bright and cheerful patterns, especially for older kids, that have coordinated contrasts I can use for the borders. (Anyone have extra fabric & time to whip out a pillowcase or two? Please Google the website to find info and a hospital near you)
The choice is hard. They are all beautiful. I choose Kayajoy: Flight Pattern.

I really, really love the Scented Garden.

Anderson Lee’s painted petals is gorgeous. I love that kind of paisley print.
My favorite is CJLDesigns, The Scented Garden. Love all of the birds! (aj1277)
The ‘Tea Time’ designs are beautiful – they really caught my eye and I could think of umpteen One-Quart-Wonders I could start with them!
I’m Moobug on Spoonflower 🙂
I love the Sea Garden collection, but I have a project in mind in which Flight Patterns would be beautiful. Better to get the fabric you can use, yes? 😉

I love Painted Petals. The colors just pop.
-stoneamazon
I like the flight patterns too. It’s light and elegant 😉
I love Flight Patterns! ~flowerchild22
Anderson Lee: Painted Petals is my favorite collection. The colors and patterns are so versatile and fresh, and the collection very cohesive. I also adore the Valley Designs poppy print.

-binksandtobes
How can I choose just one? I think Tea Time by Heather Dutton is very special.
I love the Kayajoy: Flight Patterns ! Acutally, I love them all, it was hard to decide – EmmalineByJanelleMacKay
I adore Butterfly Garden. To me, it is reminiscent of Monet.
I really love the CJLDesigns nesting. Very nice.
I just love Kayajoy’s flight pattern collection… The colours are so lovely.
I love Scented Garden, those birds, and nests and flowers are delightful! wiccked 🙂
Painted Petals – spoonflower MarciaW
There are quite a few great patterns and as a standalone I like The scented garden: butterfly grass the most, but as a collection I like painted petals better.
Ntschotschi
this really was a difficult choice. I voted for my ultimate favorite though: Heather’s “Tea Time”. The main fabric “Afternoon Tea” is so cute and well done and the matching coordinates deal with a variety of tea-related themes: doilies and spoons and sugar cubes being my favorite coordinates!
Nevertheless, congratulations to all eight finalists and the ultimate winner Andie Hanna; they are all really beautiful collections!

Sea Garden, Flower Garden and Flight Patterns are all lovely!

Scented Garden, undoubtedly – so pretty and evocative! I love it.
I love all the collections. It is really hard to choose a favourite but for me Fappeled Migration wins by a small margin (username on Spoonflower is alicja)
I really like CJL Designs work. I can see myself using most of the Scented Garden range for my fabric scrap books. They have the right tone to work with vintage photos …
I love Mahoneybee’s Butterfly Garden. I usually go for the bright colors but am magnetically drawn to this fabric collection! Such creativity!
oops…forgot to say my spoonflower name… martinmosaics
I really love the Painted Petals collection! Thanks for the chance to win!

Valley Designs Pansy Bouquet. And Polka Polka. And Ditsy and Red Poppies(I am sensing a trend).
I voted for Flight Patterns. It is such a beautiful collection!

My favorite is the “Scented Garden” collection by CJL Designs.
Spoonflower name: Tallulahdahling
Big fan of The Scented Garden!
(gershamabob)
I’m quite fond of “Afternoon Tea,” myself. The “Spoonful of Sugar” has my name on it–I want a blouse! 🙂
PS-My Spoonflower name is “GunShy.” Hope I win this one!! So cute!
Even though I liked several collections, I thought the Painted Petals collection overall was more diverse. Being a quilter, I look for fabrics that go coordinate, but are diverse and this collection fits that requirement.
My favourite is the set by Heather Dutton: Tea Time. I like how the black offsets the other colours. Congrats to all the finalists – lot’s of great designs.
I had a very hard time picking just one in the contest! A few of my favorite single designs are Water Flowers, Painted Petals, and Nesting.
