it is very pretty. Check thrift stores for cotton shirts, men and womens, cotton napkins. Also look in the Thrift stores for bed skirts to cut up. I love scrappy. Some quilt stores sell scrap bags. Sometimes you can find bundles of fat eighths, bundles of 3" or 5" squares. Lots of people cut scraps and sell them online. It won't take you long to get gobs of scraps. If it is over 1", it does not get thrown away with me. Hope this helps.
