I looked online and I saw Obama panels and fat quarters, but all are in patriotic colorways. Are there ethnic prints that could match? The AfricanAm. prints I have seen have a lot of gold and greens in them. Has anyone made or seen anything like this? I would love any suggestions and pix anyone can offer. Thanks in advance. Jan you have obama fabric in r/w/b. you want african or african/american prints in r/w/b to match the obama fabric? is that it? ooops. |
