I was going through my stash and came across this fabric. I though it would be perfect for my steps son double wedding ring quilt. But i have a problem i picked up the fabric in a yard sale almost 2yrs ago. I have no idea where i can buy it or if i can find it. if any one knows where i can pick this fabric up.

Are there any markings on the selvedge that would give you a clue as to manufacturer? If not, I think you will find it extremely difficult to match the fabric. Your best bet might be to take it to a quilt shop and look for a fabric with similar color, tone and pattern.

It does look familiar. I will take a look in my stash but don't hold your breath.

No markings at all on the two pieces I have.

Take it to your LQS, someone may recognize it, but 2 years is a long time in fabric years.

I have some of that fabric I used in a king sized sampler quilt a few years ago. All that is left are some strips and one piece that is 1/3 yard with a chunk out of one corner. No idea on manufacturer but I bought it in Joanns 7 or 8 years ago in their red tag section which meant it was discontinued then.

I bought that fabric some years ago at Hobby Lobby. Really I think it was over ten years ago. I still have some yardage (I just have to go downstairs and see how much), so PM me if you don't find it anywhere locally and we can talk about it. It's a very pretty fabric, which is partly why I bought the rest of the bolt (after I had run short for a quilt and went back for more). I have two versions tho. One has a very light flesh colored background, and the other has almost a yellowish colored background, again very light. I can't tell from your photos which one you need, or both. Hope that makes sense . . .

What is the name of the fabric. Right now I will take any I can find of this print. I love how this print looks and I think its perfect for a wedding no matter what the color of the wedding is.

i got mine at maryjo's a few years ago. unfortunately i can't remember who makes it and there's no information on the selvage.
i think they still carry it, but it will take a while to fish through their website to find it.

i think i have also seen it somewhere at marshall's dry goods' website.

i'll bet if you email those two stores and include that photo one of them will be able to help you. :)

patricej 03-02-2014 05:37 AM

Omg thank you so much . Iwill head down there and pick some up .

You ladies just always amaze me the way you find fabric from years ago. For one, even though I have never asked, I have to say, "thank you" for going to all the trouble to find things for folks on these boards!!! Your all wonderful.

I too am amazed at people's grasp and memory of fabric. It is beyond my brain to store and remember such stuff. I buy fabric at so many places in my travels that I forget what I got where. This board is so helpful. I'm not sure how I managed before I became a member and it is something I look forward to every morning to start my day. Thanks to all who contribute.

I have seen this fabric, and PatriceJ is right I do think it was at Hobby Lobby

EvieD44 03-03-2014 06:18 AM

All I can say is you women are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

carolynjo 03-03-2014 06:29 AM

Send a small snip to MaryJo's and they will try to match it and will get back in touch with you. Good luck.

I have had excellent results from using this web site. Twice I have been able to locate the needed fabric in less than a week and at a very reasonable price. Great site.

I have this fabric. I bought several years ago at Marshall's Dry Goods $1.98 per yard for a 10 yard bolt. It's very pretty and I've used it in many quilts. I love Marshall's. I go there about every other month.

Such wonderful minds we have on this board, ye who asks, shall be rewarded (most times)

Sewfine 03-04-2014 06:27 AM

I think the one on the left comes from Hancock or Hobby Lobby.

maryb119 03-04-2014 06:42 AM

Have you tried posting a swatch on missingfabrics.com? You may be able to locate it there.
