I know that they say we learn by our mistakes, well if that is true than I should be learning a lot these days. Now I have found another problem that I made for myself. I'm making a small quilt for my 9 month old Grandson. I had these really cute pieces of fabric in my stash that was given to me by some of you wonderful ladies. I thought it would make a nice "boy" quilt with things that boys like. Well I cut enough to make one 15" square of the Bear Paw Pattern and put it together to see if I liked it, well I love it. I pulled out the pattern directions that I printed off the computer and cut it for the rest of the quilt. Started on the second square and realized that I did not use the right directions (it was for the smaller squares) and now I do not have enough of the orange-cowboy-pony fabric to make it the right size. I don't even have enough to make the smaller one that I cut out. Now I am in a real mess because I really, really wanted to make it like the first finished square I made. So I am looking for some more of the Orange cowboy/pony fabric so I can make it correctly or another color of the same design that I could make work, or some other cowboy/pony fabric that I could incorporate into the design. Something that would work. Help. I am willing to purchase or trade fabric. If I can get the orange cowboy/pony fabric I would love 3/4 to 1 yd if possible. If some other fabric that will work I would probably need at least a yard. The fabric that was given to me didn't have the selvage edge to tell me who made it. I also went on the computer and looked every where I could think of for this fabric. I figure it is out of production or I never asked enough of the right questions to find it. I hope someone can help me with this. I thank you all in advance for looking in your stash for me. I have really learned a lot from this mistake. God Bless You All

Online Orange is a bit darker, but that could be just the different lighting.
