Toile Fabric
 

I've just decided That Toile Stars is the next quilt I want to make. I have had the fabric in my stash for 4-5 years, too pretty to cut. I made one block before I realized my fabric wasn't washed. So washed it as usual, Oh my I think it was printed cheese cloth. Where can I buy good Toile fabric. What name should I be looking at. One good thing I only made a test block.

Hello from the Mainland! When I read your post and I googled the pattern, what comes to mind is Moda's French General quilting cotton line of fabrics.

We get good quality fabric all over around here. I only buy 100% cotton.

this is the free pattern http://www.robertkaufman.com/quiltin...s/toile_stars/
and this is the fabric collection that is used in it http://www.robertkaufman.com/fabrics/betsys_basket/
Robert Kaufman is a reputable manufacturer.

I too was going to suggest Robert Kaufman fabrics. They are a nice weight with a great hand.

Thank you, printed this off. Still haven't gotten shopping. Busy three weeks (company).

Pretty! I would use the creative Grids Strippy Stars ruler to make the star block.

Hi, Jan! Glad to see you back. I have missed your wonderful helps on this site.

YAYYY!!! Welcome back SuperJan!!! <3 We missed you!!

Thanks everyone, found the three yards in my friend stash. I one happy camper.

Hey, Peckish; you're so cute! :D Thank you bunches and Carolynjo, too. Everyone has been so kind with their welcomes, I have missed you all so much. :o
Not feeling so Super tonight, though; the new hip is bothering me a bit, as it has off and on over the past 8-10 days. It's been rainy some days here and that's rarely good for my arthritic body. I was invited out to dinner with the gal who was my post-surgery caregiver and her DH (they really are "dear" to me, too!) We had a beer with pasta dinner and now I'm all achy. Pooh, was celebrating being mostly off the cane and pain meds, but the beer seems to have set me back. :rolleyes:

How great you found your toile, true4uca!!
