Looking for fabric for grandson's quilt
Hi! I want to make a graduation quilt for my grandson. He will be studying technology at university so I thought that a quilt on that theme would be good. I have seen some fabric that would be ideal but it has not been available at any of places I checked. It is Robert Kaufman, plug & play...specifically the black background and the black & white keyboard. Sound familiar to any of you? I'd appreciate any help I can get or any other suggestions for that theme. Thanks!

Check online at www.quiltshops.com - it is a browser site for many quilt shops - when I am looking for something specific, I have had lots of luck finding what I need.

I saw these. Do they help?

This vendor uses computer keyboard fabric so she may be able to tell you where to find some.

The first one is exactly what I was looking for!...even though there was only one yard, I was ordering it 11.23 for the fabric...until I saw that I was being charged $24.96 for shipping!! I am in Canada but ,I imagine you will agree.....that is crazy shipping charge!
Thanks so much for trying for me.

Try listing the fabrics you need at missingfabrics.com. Even a description will do for a listing. The posts go "everywhere" and I've had some success in finding fabric I needed. It would be worth a try and the shipping is not astronomical. $24.95 is a lot. :-)

I am not sure how old Plug and Play is but I found some fabrics from that line on eBay. You have a BIG disadvantage being located in Canada.

Two sellers are located in the UK. Don't know if that helps or not.

I have a one yard piece of a dark grey fabric called "Back Talk" by Maria Kalinoski of Canvas. It is a Benartex fabric. It is black keyboards with red letters and also phone key pads. I probably paid $6-7 on sale.
PM me if you want to figure out some shipping.
