Can someone give me ideas of where to find older (3years) walmart fabric. There is nothing on selvege. I bought it at the Walmart at Cottage Grove in OR. I have the blue, it also came in green & pink. There are about 6 different stripes of co-ordinating fabrics on the piece. I have it all cut & re-sewn for a bargello T-shirt jacket and discovered I'm about 1/2 yard short. Guess I could make a child's jacket

Maybe if you posted a picture of the fabric, someone on here might have some of it they could part with.

Posting a picture would help.

A couple of other sites worth posting on:

Keep checking at Walmart. I made a quilt using a red fabric and I ran out. I had to replace to finish it. Last week they had a whole bolt of the exact same fabric from about 3 years ago. Don't give up.

Did one of the coordinates have small dark pink/red roses on it?
One was sort of a mottled solid?
One sort of a fine check/basket?

My gosh that's it. Where did you find it, I've been searching those links that were posted and no luck. The blue I have is all cut & sewn into 2 inch squares. I do have a yard of it in green but the print goes right to the edges so no info on selveges.
