I have a feeling that it will be stunning. Wonderful bold colors! Don't forget to show us pics!

Some one started a OBW with that fabric and posted today - maybe you can find the post and check the repeat
|
That will turn out beautifully, I'm sure! It doesn't look like a huge repeat, 3 yards should be plenty!
|
It's beautiful fabric.
|
Yardage isn't the important thing, it's how many repeats. A repeat might be anything from a few inches to 24 inches or more. It looks like your repeat might be about 15-18"??? If it's 18" then you need 6*18", which is 3 yards. If you're just a little shy (because it wasn't cut exactly straight) that can be okay.
Do you know how to measure the repeat? Find a point on the pattern (it's easiest to do this near the selvage) and then measure down to where that same point reappears. That is the length of the repeat. |
I bet it will come out just stunning. Lucky you.

I took my sister (that has been sick) to Joannes today and she loved this and insisted on getting it for me to try. I got 3 yards, will that be enough? Thanks everyone for your encouragement. |
Beautiful fabric, will be awesome.
|
Perfect for OBW, and it will be really pretty!

I'll look tonite and let you know what I chose as the repeat. But I think I figured I could get 3 repeats from one yard and I think I picked the brite blue flower but I'll let you know later tonite.
