Furthermore, if you bought it as a kit from them in 2012, odds are just about zero that KQ still sells whatever fabric they used in the kit even if you knew the manufacturer's name.

Your best bet, if online shopping for batiks is too risky for you, is to try to find fabrics locally that will work to your satisfaction. Sorry.
Well that explains a lot! Thanks so much for the info. I live in the "boonies" as they say and only two quilt shops within 50 miles and I don't drive myself in traffic anymore so that's why I haven't gone looking. But I guess this is my only option left. I was hoping some of those who've made this quilt could give me the info but no one has responded in that way. That's one reason I started another post but QuiltnNan moved it here so now fewer people will see it. Another thing to clarify this, I was mistaken to say the kit was made from this fabric. I actually don't know what fabric was in the quilt kit. But in the same catalog was the Zen Garden medley that we wanted and it is very similar to the fabric they did use. Maybe I can contact Debbie Maddy somehow and she will answer with the info. I didn't see the fabric on the Princess Mirah site so maybe it is all gone. Thanks to all who have even read this and responded. I do appreciate all you shared. Have a good one everybody! And a blessed new year!
