Do you Spoonflower?

The other week at My Creative Space I loved this fabric design by Flower Press. I think it is really difficult to find nice 'boy' fabrics (although I would also use this for girls) so marbles as a spot pattern are genius (she has a giveaway this week too!)

You can also choose from thousands of other designs by Spoonflower users who have made their fabrics public.

If you have ever ordered from Spoonflower or entered a competition, please let me know how you got on, I am absolutely fascinated by it!
