    Does anyone know the name of this fabric line? My sister started this one and I have no idea. She received the fabric from a gal who only shopped at quilt stores. I could use one of the fabrics for an outer border. Thanks.

    They look like Hoffman prints to me

    Very pretty quilt. If you can't find the fabric, I would go with a matching solid, probably the navy.

    Thanks, that's what my husband thought, too.

    They do look like Hoffman but the border can be any fabric and it doesn't have to be in the center of the quilt. Take it to a store and audition fabrics.

    if it is from 2007 you may be better off finding a navy like others said. it looks like an American valour but I sure can't find it. really nice quilt tho. good luck

    Thanks a beautiful quilt!! I like it as it is. It looks finished to me, unless you need to make it bigger for the bed.
