Am I crazy to think I will find these two in combination? I have been searching through all my favorite online stores and can't find any! Anyone have a link they'd care to share?

It is for a baby quilt so I was thinking polka dots or plaid... hearts on brown, anything that is not obviously a theme fabric.

Thanks!

I just bought some pink and brown fabric at Walmart.

Mamagus 10-22-2010 10:43 AM

I got some paisley pink and brown fat quarters at Walmart, but not nearly enough!

CarrieAnne 10-22-2010 10:49 AM

They have quite a few at JoAnns too, in the calicos.

Quiltforme 10-22-2010 11:00 AM

I have a lot of pink/brown Joanns in the calico corner sections had some.

mysippycup2 10-22-2010 11:26 AM

I too have LOTS of brown and pink, going to make myself a quilt ... oneday

Mamagus 10-22-2010 11:28 AM

I am really hoping to find a online source for the fabric. We don't have a Joann's here in Newfoundland and Walmarts got rid of their fabric by the bolt.

Anyone know of an online store that has some?

SherriB 10-22-2010 11:30 AM

Try Hobby Lobby. I know they have pink/brown combos in the store, not sure if they do online or not.

Candace 10-22-2010 11:33 AM

I've got a ton of it if you're looking to buy some. Quite a bit of yardage.

kathyd 10-22-2010 11:53 AM

Check with Keepsake Quilting. They have lots of medleys and I believe they might even have a pink/brown combo.
I made a pink/brown quilt for my granddaughter last year from 5" charms and a solid brown. The charms were a Valentine's Day pack that had cream as the background and some reds mixed in. Turned out very cute.
I also made a fullsize quilt for my daughter a few years back. For that though I collected the fabrics for a while. The pattern was Jacob's Ladder and it was all hand pieced and hand quilted. A definite labor of love.

That's really cute!

wolfkitty 10-22-2010 12:47 PM

I think pink and brown look very nice together, and I have seen several quilts here made with those colors. So there must be fabric out there.

quilterjody 10-22-2010 12:47 PM

I saw pink and brown at Joann's. They even had fat quarter sets of it. I love the 2 colors together...and often wear them together. Think chocolate covered cherry..yum!

Pink and brown is all the rage right now. Try fabric.com. A month or so ago they had lots of polka dots in pink & brown.

krisgray 10-22-2010 12:59 PM

If you do LQS fabric, ask for Lily & Will from Moda. You might try online shops for it.

M.E.H. 10-22-2010 01:27 PM

Some has just been put up for sale on the message board.

quiltinggrandmaca 10-22-2010 01:41 PM

Hi! I got my pink and brown from Wish upon a Quilt. It was called Harmonies by Exclusively Quilters. I don't know if they have it anymore because that was last year about this time. I made a brown and pink quilt for my newest Granddaughter who was born last November. Hope this helpa.

np3 10-22-2010 01:44 PM

These colors are great together and I see them all over the place!

jljack 10-22-2010 01:46 PM

There are tons out there...go on eBay and search pink brown in fabric. You'll get lots.

quiltinggrandmaca 10-22-2010 01:46 PM

I just did a search and if you go to quiltshops.com and in the search bar type in Harmonies it comes up with several pages of shops. On the second page there is some pink and brown fabric the same as what I got. Hope this helps.

Moon Holiday 10-22-2010 01:52 PM

Pink and chocolate brown combo is very popular right now.
You should have no problem finding that combination.

pocoellie 10-22-2010 02:12 PM

Pink and brown are beautiful together.

Have you been to Hobby Lobbby? I wanted some pink and some purple coordinating fabric which I didn't find. But I saw bolt after bolt of pink and browns, often with a limey green.

Norene B 10-22-2010 03:37 PM

Our lqs has pink and brown together in a children's print. It is really cute.

watterstide 10-23-2010 03:13 AM

joanns,

rustqlts 10-23-2010 04:57 AM

Very, very cute purse/tote!

plainjane 10-23-2010 11:27 AM

For online try http://www.quiltshops.com/ Click thumbnails to see a little pic of the fabric you searched. You can search until your heart's content! When I was looking for a blue/yellow combo-it was slim. Now, it's everywhere!


The other site I posted didn't take you to my saved searches, so I deleted it :(

I like Thousands of Bolts online for quilt shop quality fabric from famous makers at bargain prices.
They have loads of fabrics and it's shown by color or theme.

There was a pink and brown swap a while back. I had to back out of it, but got the craze and bought some beautiful fabrics. They remind me of See's Candies.

DebraK 10-23-2010 11:59 AM

here's a plaid http://www.craftersvision.com/produc...-07-10-063.htm

and there seems to be several others there as well. Her site is pink and brown ;-)

DA Mayer 10-23-2010 12:09 PM

I am looking for brown and lavender minky and all I can find is pink and brown, look at minky or minkee and you will find some very nice prints that would make a beautiful baby quilt.......... good luck.

lab fairy 10-23-2010 12:27 PM

I just did a wallhanging with a fabric fitting that exact description. Since the thing was a kit created at Austin Sewing I'm not sure who the manufacturer was but they carry a lot of Moda. You could also contact them at http://www.austinsewing.com

I hope this helps.

tjradj 10-23-2010 01:39 PM

Have you tried Kaffe Fasset fabric? They have tons of colour combinations in "non traditional" styles.
