oh ccbear, i was afraid someone would ask where the fabric came from. i have been trying to remember. i just build my stash and use it like a little mini fabric store when i get ready to make a quilt. lol. i probably got it at walmart. our store still carries fabric. the only other place i would have gotten it is a fabric outlet here called FM STORE. i don't think it is a chain, just a local guy who has had this store for many years. he has great quilt fabric for 3.99 per yard. it is the same as in the quilt stores but not the latest patterns. the selvage edge has the letters MBT TM printed on it. hope that helps.
thanks for the compliment this was a very fun quilt. i need lots more practice on my free motion, though.
