It's beautiful fabric! I can see why you snapped it up and want to know more about it. Hopefully someone here can find out more info for you.

Tanyal, What is Fussy Cut? I'm new to quilting, so I have no idea.

Maxnme01, I tried there too, but no luck. We have 2 fabric stores here in Hawaii that might be able to offer something. I can only hope. Thank you guys so much for trying to help me out.

"Fussy cut" means to place the block (actually a clear plastic template is the easiest way or making a hollow outline the size of your block) and locating it on your fabric to determine exactly what part of the fabric design you want to showcase inside of the block. Then cutting the fabric so that this is accomplished. If you don't fussy cut, then you just cut across the width of the fabric, say 6 1/2 inches, then cut that strip into pieces that are 6 1/2 inches and pay no attention to what part of the design shows within the block. In a floral that type of cutting will not center a flower or leaves into the center of your block. "Fussy cut" gives beautiful blocks but leaves a lot of waste fabric to be used later in scrap blocks for other quilts or for applique pieces. I really think your fabric is beautiful.
