Can't find the same nautical fabric, but did find a different kind. His favorite color is blue and I wanted to use the nautical fabric because it reminds me of when we used to go too Colon, MI. where we had a house with the lake at the end of the back yard; where we would fish all the time. (Not a good fisher, LOL). All suggestions are welcome. Need to have this done before I go to Chicago in July, he will be looking for it.
