Any suggestions for finding old fabric?
I'm desperately looking for some fabric from about three years ago (Haiku by Moda, 33075-14), I've checked with the larger on line stores, LQS's, fabric search engines, ebay, etsy, amazon and I just put an ad into missingfabrics dot com. I'm coming up empty except for one on-line shop that is out of the country. Anyone have any suggestions as to where else I might be able to find old fabric? I have a little less than a fat quarter and it's the perfect piece for the background on my next project. Thanks!

One good thing about Moda, their lines often use the same colors in different patterns. If you have to reinvent the wheel, consider making a color search by manufacturer. You might come up with a companion piece in the line.

Quiltingshorttimer - thank you for the suggestions, I really appreciate your help. I tried the sites you recommended and did searches for "discontinued fabrics" but still coming up empty. I'll keep looking . . . . .

Thank you toverly, I'll check out some of their newer lines. That's the good thing about some of the patterns and colors, often I've found later fabrics that can be used perfectly with older fabrics.
