Checked out the Dr. Seuss fabrics and don't see these. Do you remember where you found them? TIA!

Pollytink, you wouldn't believe how many places I found these fabrics. Wish I could tell you exact names, but the black fabric, I found in my LQS. It was my sister's idea to use the black, and I'm amazed at how it just made everything pop! I don't know the name. Sorry!!! The yellow red was something I luckily spotted on a Shop Hop. The striped and polkadot sashing as well as some of the solid sashing on the Green Eggs and Ham quilt actually came from fat quarter sets I found for $5.99 at Tuesday Morning. I bought a set of orange, yellow, green, purple, blue, pink, and red. I ended up not using the purple or pink. I had to cut the panels apart to make each block and that's where the trouble started. Some were wider on one end than the other, some printed crookedly, some were wedge shaped. I really had to spend time with the sashings to get them to square up. Wish I could be of better help!

Grandma Mary the quilts are fabulous! Colors bright and uplifting. You've done much justice to Dr. Seuss and I applaud you! I love kids quilts that bring back storybook memories to the kids and their grandmas and grandpas. Wonderful! Angela
