I hope someone can help. I am working on a quilt for my son's 10th wedding anniversary and need about 2 1/2 more yards. Just found out their bed is king not a queen! It is a Hoffman batik #D229, color: 66, a reddish-brown leafy print. My LQS doesn't have any more.

If this link doesn't take you exactly to that swatch, just type in the d229. It's on sale for $8.99.

I found it by using fabshophop.com fabric search. It's a great site to use when you are looking for a particular fabric!

All I could find for the D229 color 66 is a floral pattern batik, not the leaves.. :?

I just typed in the name for one I was looking for and, since it is descrtiptive name rather than a reference number, it just threw up loads of things to do with the name, NOTHING whatever to do with fabric! Did I do something wrong?

At Fabshophop.com fabric search I typed in Hoffman batik d229, and that's how I found it. It definitly heps putting in the number, otherwise, yes, you get a ton of things you are not looking for!
