Default In need of search suggestions to find this batik, please

I have no idea where I purchased this fabric, and batiks have no info on the salvages....one of these days I will learn to catalog my purchases, because I am notorious for running short!
I would like to purchase at least another yard of this for borders....so far, my googling has been unsuccessful. Can you suggest search words that might help locate it please? I don't know how to search using an image of the fabric.
Thank you! I would describe it as medium to dark grey with pale blue....
ETA: I think I purchased this to coordinate with Bali Hoffman snowflake panel if that helps!

It might be worth a call to HR Harris in Minnesota. They have the largest batik selection I have ever seen. Many times they are buying out LQS's who are going out of business etc, and sometimes I had been able to find older prints by the bolt! Good luck!

My first impression is paisley. Would that help?

Thanks, Nan, for searching. I added the word damask to my searches and came up with this....https://www.fabric.com/buy/0419791/b...damask-january
Not the fabric, but may be close enough.....will keep searching with your suggestions! Thank you!

Did you check on Hoffman's website to see if you could find this batik?? If you think it is a Hoffman, send this photo to them in an email and maybe they can give you the number for this fabric.

I'm sorry to say but most batiks only last a season or the dye lots may differ. That's my "reason" to buy an extra 3 or 4 yards of fabrics I like.

This makes me think of some or the Tonga batiks (Timeless Treasures). But even if you can't find it, chances are that you can find something similar. Consider this an opportunity to add some variation to your quilt. I don't know where you live but take a swatch of it to some quilt shops and see if you can find something similar

I wish you the best of luck finding more. It looks familiar but doesn't ring a bell. I'm a batiks girl also and have never been successful finding more of any batik. Your best bet is if it is a line like Timeless Treasures or Hoffman. Check out Hancocks of Paducah also.

I think I remember that line, grayish icy-blue tones with snowflakes? That line is pretty old, I was unable to find any of it online except for the snowflake print on eBay.
