I think that the fabric will work really we, I can't wait to see, how much did you get?

To find the repeat, look at the salvage right near the cut edge, follow it down until you find the same markings, wether it is a building or a specific tree that you can differentiate from the rest. that is one,

I got almost 4 1/2 yds~ What was left on the bolt.. (So I got a discount too since I finished the bolt off :))

I'll investigate the repeats later and see if I can figure it out....I guess I was thinking repeats across the fabric, but I think you are talking down ...

if you are short going down, you can go across, i see a staggered repeat but not on down in what is shown,

SoI choose this just to show you a really obvious example of a repeat, in the picture there is two full repeats shown, the start of a third, some of them wone be this obvioius, if you need help finding your repeat, I need to see a fair length of the fabric. usually there is more than one repeat in a yard.
