(sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this question, I don't know how to start a topic!)If this needs to be moved somewhere else, please do so, or tell me how. You all have been so great to get ideas from, THANKS!
Buying from the same fabric line will pretty much guarantee that the fabrics will match. :D:D:D

If you go to the various manufacturers websites, they usually have free patterns there showing a new fabric line. You can then go and shop for them online.
Or if you find a fabric you like, you can go to the manufacturer's website and see all of the fabrics in that line, and then go online to find them. Not all shops will carry each available fabric from every line.
Happy Shopping!!! :D:D:D
