I had a hard time deciding on my background. I really wanted a dark purple but when I saw the blue I knew it was the one. I bought 8 yards and had some left over. The sashing is a batik I saw in a quilt at the LQS. Of course they didn't have any of it. I searched and searched on line for most of the year. I asked the LQS what brands of batiks they carried and searched every manufacturers website to find out what it was called. I finally found it on ebay. It had become almost an obsession that I had to find it. I knew it was the perfect one.
Thanks.
