I did ask her were she found the fabrics (because I was not going to even attempt if it was on chain store quilts) and she said it was actually quilts like we here make mo mass production made in china sold in chain stores stuff. lol I think I will just drag her along this weekend to the fabric shop.
Thanks again everyone!

I'll bet they are an older print but I'm sure maybe someone might have something either the same or similar.
Good luck!

I would ask her find out the brides favorite color(s) then ask if she wants to stick with small floral. That would be easier, especially since at least one of these patterns is two years old.
I think all these were Joann's Keepsake Calico line years ago.
If this is an heirloom quilt (wedding), I would take her to a quilt shop for finer fabrics, purchase the bride's colors in a print and add your yardage of white and start your masterpiece.
If your friend wants to keep with several colors as indicated, I would aim for the 1920's-1930's calico.
Best wishes.

Not to be a killjoy, but if the pictures came out of some catalog (ie JC Penney), you may never find those fabrics! I would think she would be happy if you just found fabrics along similar veins.
there are sooooo many lovely fabrics out there. Perhaps she should visit your LQS....she'd probably find many she'd be happy with.

If you have a LQS to visit, usually the staff there are very helpful in picking out fabrics. I vote that route. It could end up a scrappy quilt but that's better than making you crazy trying to find a match.
Good Luck !
