Default Need orange, tabby cat fabric

I have a request to make a stuffed, orange tabby cat, and can't find any fabric that looks like a tabby cat. I just want a cotton fabric, no fur or fake skin etc. Any ideas where I might find it? I think I have seen it somewhere, but I have looked at the fabric and quilt shops and haven't seen any. Thanks.

try looking at Nancysnotions.com if you don't order over the internet, get their 800 number and call them, their all very nice people there.

At first glance, I thought you were looking for an orange tabby cat. I got all excited as I just can't find homes for all ours. Oh well.

I found a great tiger stripe fabric on Fabric.com. It would make a great cat! I bought 4 yards of it for the back of a Missouri Tigers quilt I'm making for my nephew.

I'd take a look at batiks, Stonehenge, Marblehead and even some calicos.
And here's my offer of inspiration which I made for my Pony Club quilt ...

Thanks for the link toolazy. That is the closest thing to a tabby fabric I have found yet!
