Thread: Fabric for quilt

I am posting a different post so maybe others will have the info I am seeking. This quilt is in the 2012 spring edition of Keepsake Quilting newsletter. It is on page 13. The fabric I want is on page 8 of the same catalog. The quilt kit has Debbie Maddy's directions. There is no other info on the fabric as to manufacturer or designer. I wish they had put the name of the manufacturer! Anyway, if you have made this or have the fabric to make this kit please let me know. You might can give me the name off the selvage of the fabric. I could contact the company and see if it is still available. If not, I will begin visiting shops online to try to put this quilt together. My hesitation about ordering online is the colors are not always that true and I also like to see the different pieces together before working on it. I shoulda, coulda, woulda, you know how that goes! Thanks for anyone who can offer help! I do appreciate it.

Batiks don't have information on the selvages since it is a dying process and not printing. I'm with ghostrider, your best bet is to shop locally for fabrics that will work for you.

Even in the shop itself, the bolt ends are covered over with stickers to prevent you from seeing the source of the fabric. Furthermore, if you bought it as a kit from them in 2012, odds are just about zero that KQ still sells whatever fabric they used in the kit even if you knew the manufacturer's name.

Your best bet, if online shopping for batiks is too risky for you, is to try to find fabrics locally that will work to your satisfaction. Sorry.

Well that explains a lot! Thanks so much for the info. I live in the "boonies" as they say and only two quilt shops within 50 miles and I don't drive myself in traffic anymore so that's why I haven't gone looking. But I guess this is my only option left. I was hoping some of those who've made this quilt could give me the info but no one has responded in that way. That's one reason I started another post but QuiltnNan moved it here so now fewer people will see it. Another thing to clarify this, I was mistaken to say the kit was made from this fabric. I actually don't know what fabric was in the quilt kit. But in the same catalog was the Zen Garden medley that we wanted and it is very similar to the fabric they did use. Maybe I can contact Debbie Maddy somehow and she will answer with the info. I didn't see the fabric on the Princess Mirah site so maybe it is all gone. Thanks to all who have even read this and responded. I do appreciate all you shared. Have a good one everybody! And a blessed new year!

The Northcotts are probably the correct fabrics but you cannot order from them. Thanks for the suggestion. Stonehenge may make the collection I think. not sure.

If it's the standard Labyrinth pattern, I bought the pattern at either a show or LQS and added whatever fabric I wanted.

I don't do kits as I prefer to pick out my own fabric.

This one has everything mixed in.
