Good question rdem - finding the fabric was tricky. I picked up black and white fabrics wherever I could find them. And because I changed the pattern and had no idea what I was doing, I kept running out of fabric! Be warned, the pleated log cabin takes a lot of fabric (which is why it doesn't need batting)
Of the quilting stores which do stock black and whites, the selections are small - btw it is more common to find black on white than white on black. I picked up pieces from :
Eddy's Sewing - Hobart
Quilting on the Edge - Howrah
Picture Patchwork - Latrobe
also bits and pieces from Spotlight
the sewing machine fabric which I fussy cut (and the centre panel) is a Loralie Harris design which I picked up on an auction site.
I would suggest looking at buying from an overseas site as the selections are larger and the prices cheaper. That's what I would have done had I known better.
