How about this?

Next question . .anyone know of any discount codes? I think I am hooked on Connecting Threads. I have been getting the booklets in the mail - but never looked too much becuase I always think online is more expensive. .not the case today! For 18 bucks I have 6 yards!

I keep looking at the pink ribbon quilt and I am so drawn to the pink/white contrast :)

Then you should find a site that allows 1/4" cuts for the colors.

Some of the ones listed upthread do.
Also, there is
http://fatquartershop.com/
and
http://www.stitch-n-frame.net/ (I LOVE this shop)


That way you can get the most variety for one shipping amount (if you don't want to go to a LQS).
However, if you do go to a LQS, you don't run the risk of choosing something that doesn't play well with the others.

(I'm currently having the hardest time coming up with a selection of turquoise fabrics that I like together.)

Is this a queen bed quilt or a throw (like 72" square-ish)?

Look at www.retailmenot.com and type in whatever shop you are looking for discounts too.

I am not completly decided yet on the size. The bigger the better - until it comes to the quilting on my little machine :)

I am a huge fan of Thousands of bolts. They just had a sale .. it may still be going on . Do use the search function as they really do have thousands of bolts.

I recently bought sme white Kona cotton and I was amazed at its quality. Not see-through but nice and solid. Not sure who has the best price.
