Hello Grocifer and Nimble Thimble:
Since I am in NH and buy locally, the particular shop names won't ring a bell. However, the fabrics are name brands: Kaufman, Jinny Beyer, Moda, etc.
It is true that the selection of border fabrics seems to be small in most LQS. It takes a while and several sources to have a little collection.
When I shop on line, my first stop is
http://www.quiltshops.com. This is an electonic compilation of quilt stores.
I type in wide stripes, stripes, border prints, Andover, Jinny Beyer, and Peggy Toole for search terms. One that is very pretty and on my wish list is called Tuscan Wildflower.
Thank you for asking because I really would love to see someone else make a block like this. Post some pictures of any kind of stripe or border print. I'll be able to let you know if it would work in this block.
In a little while, I will post instructions for assembling the block.
