Warm Stone by Stonehedge has something that might work.

Start looking on-line at several quilt shops and you will find more batiks than you can look at.

If you're having that much trouble finding just what you want, why don't you make your own? It will take a little time, but it's not hard. And then you'll get the colors you want the way you want them. Just a thought. Good luck

Keepsake Quilting sells sand colored batiks. I also saw some Moda jelly-rolls in an off-white kind of sand color - I think on fabric.com.

I bought a pack of 2-1/2" batik strips called "Meringue". They are Tonga Treats by Timeless Treasure. I needed a scrappy background and this was perfect. I was disappointed because the strips were badly cut (anywhere from 1/8" too small to 1/8" too large, and some had dips in the center, so I haven't bought any more, but they may be perfect for what you are making.
I don't know if you can tell the various shades from this picture. [ATTACH=CONFIG]528617[/ATTACH]

So white is too white and brown is too dark. I'm wanting to find like ecru to a light tannish. Well... Sand color. I thought the batiks would give it some texture but I'm having a hard time finding what I'm wanting. I guess if I can't find the batik, I'll use cotton with very small print.
I'm just wondering if what I'm wanting is even made? Has anyone had this issue? I would love for the main part of the quilt to resemble sand as much as possible. Anyone have any any ideas what company makes this or any ideas on how I can achieve this look? I would be so grateful for any help/suggestions. This is a Christmas present for my daughter but since this is a design I have come up with just in my head and on paper I want to start working on it ASAP in case I come upon issues!! TIA!!! |
Google - quilting jelly roll tans.
Then pick shopping, there are several that show the fabrics fanned out to see what is included. You could also throw in batiks to see if you get different results. |
Thousands of bolts has a line called Chromatic Batiks. Every color under the rainbow.
