The fabric is a 100% cotton Coral Tree fabric and strangely enough, all the other Coral Tree fabrics I have used are lovely and soft. Never mind, it will go into my stash for another project
I have found another fabric, which although not the 'perfect' colour (as bearisgray stated) is so nice and soft, it just invites you to snuggle! So I'm happy with the fabric and ecstatically happy that I am very close to finishing my FIRST ever quilt! One more quilting lesson on Saturday which will teach me how to do the free motion quilting and I will be able to finish off my grand daughters quilt. This is not my class quilt, but one I have been making in tandem. I now see why quilters usually have more than one project on the go at a time......it's addictive!
Thank you everyone for your very helpful suggestions
