I would think so. How many blocks do you need? How much yardage do you figure?

The price looks good. You can get a couple yards and not break the bank.

I trying to figure it up. I can use as little as 16 frames but I'm pretty sure that I want 4 blues together, 4 yellows, 4 pinks, etc. But that could always change since it's just an idea right now. I could use anything left over for borders. I would use the stripes of flowers as strips like they are and the tiny 2" framed flowers as squares.

At that price maybe 2 yards of the frames and 3 yards of the stripes so I don't have to piece the long vertical strips in the pattern.

Now I have to find Fusions or Batiks or something to go with it, graduated in each colorway.

Okay, I went digging and came up with another web site selling this fabric. They state that the blocks are 4 1/4" square.

Thank you!!! I searched every which way and looked at a bunch of places and didn't find that.

It's even prettier seeing it in detail.

lol... I am looking at Fabric.com for batik or fusions in color sets. If I get my order up to $35 I get free shipping. I can always use backings too.

I have other windows open looking too.

Ok I got it.... the squares are 4.8 inches each. They are showing a piece measuring 29" x almost 20" piece.

Does this sound better?

can you call the vendor? I've had help that way before.
