If you can believe this, as a quilter, I need fabric. It seems as though I am having difficulty locating fabric in a blue pastel color. I can find some pinks, yellows, a few greens, but haven't had any luck with the blue. I went to Hancock's, JoAnns, and have looked on Clotilde. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks. :?:

Are you looking for a solid or a print? I have some cloud material I bought at Suzy's in Garland.
|
Would prefer prints, and clouds would be fine. Thanks for the infomation.
|
In Joann's, did you just look in the quilting fabric area? Or did you check out the baby fabric? I found a lot of pale blue in the baby section.......
|
Check on http://www.quiltingcotton.com/ in the blue section.

Thanks for the tip. I must have been having a senior moment that day.

Here is what I have, about 1 1/2 yards, plus assorted smaller pieces.

Thanks for the picture. I was looking for a paler blue (preferably a much softer blue).

We have quite a few blue "blenders". Sorry I can't split out just the light blues, so here is a link to all the blues: http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...id_fabric.html
There are two pretty paisley blues here: http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...y_paisley.html |

Thanks for the links. Interesting fabrics. Sorry, nothing pale enough.

Did you do an ISO (in search of ) in the classified section, maybe you'd get more responses there.

Thanks for the tip. Went to Moda's web site this morning. Everything looks too dark (even the baby blues). I am beginnning to believe the colors as shown on the computer are not always the same as in real life.

Thanks for the information. I was in Hancocks last monday, and all of their blues were too bright. Maybe they have had a new shipment (since Easter is on the way, maybe they will get some pastels in). Thanks again.
