I was able to get a yard of this fabric a while back, found it after going through tons of google entries....I LOVE the kaufman stuff, I would love to find some of this in the jewel tone version. You could use it for the patter in a quilt mag from 2009 I think that was colled Holiday Sparkle, on the cover. You would have to have several yards though because of the fussy cutting involved. If you know where I could get some of this let me know! [email protected] I got some of what was used in holiday sparkle from England last year. Again, it took a lot of googling to find it.

Thanks everybody, will keep you posted.

I have never made a OBW but I've seen/read about them here and they always say you need to cut a reapeat pattern and on your material (which is too beautiful to cut!) I fear you would lose to much of it! JMO as I said, I've never actually made one!

oh my gosh... that fabric is almost unCuttable. do you have enough to do Both? otherwise, I vote for using it as is in quilt. then you won't miss it so much. :-)

I think it would make a beautiful OBW--maybe could you get enough of it so that you could use it for the backing too? Then you could have the best of both worlds...!
