Seems the quiltshops check to see what folks are looking for and let you know if they have it. Might be worth a try...I haven't used it yet but I know there will come a day.
Good luck!

Eddie, if you send a swatch to Keepsake quilting in NH they may be able to match it for you. Unfortunately they rename fabrics from manufacturers and sell by color. I thought that was odd but this is what they told me when I was looking for a specific fossil fern fabric. Anyway, their batik room is the size of most medium size quilt shops. I have a feeling if they don't have it nobody will. Good luck

Any luck Eddie?

I looked while I was at my LQS and didn't see anything. One suggestion, check out some of the shops on the Shop Hop list. I have found in my own searches that not all of them pull up thru Google and that things are not always listed by the pattern name on the Manufacturer's website. For instance, you may search on Benartex, Batik, Bali, Gray, Grey, Sage, or any combination of the above. Sometimes, it's easier to just browse the batiks. It takes awhile though. Some have so many, you'd have to browse thru 20+ pages...dangerous for me as I'd surely find something I just MUST have! LOL

Missing Fabrics worked out well for me. I posted something I was looking for there and got a response within a couple of days of someone who had what I was looking for. I sure hope you can find it!

Send a swatch to Keepsake Quilting and they'll match it for you if it's still available.

Eddie, if you do send swatches out, be sure to try and capture the color variances. I think I'd attach a photo too. The one from your first post shows the colors well.

Thanks, everyone. I'm going to try www.missingfabrics.com first and see if I have any luck. If not there, then I'll try Keepsake quilting. Thanks again! :D
