Check out www.quiltshops.com and type 'shirting faric' in the search window. You'll find lots of examples of shirting fabrics. Hancocks of Paducah is another great resource.

Jane, I have one question, was going to start the pink and brown so just did 2 blocks and want to make sure they are right. Please advise when you have time[ATTACH=CONFIG]471909[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]471910[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]471911[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]471912[/ATTACH]You had said neutral and showed white so that's what I used. Please let me know. Thanks

CRO just picked them purely by color choice. Didn't know it was going to be black when I bought them. Bought all the tone on tone for each print also, going to have to make more blocks to use up some fabric and just put a little spin to it. Not sure I'm happy with this pink and brown choice, just kind of looks "plain" to me, like too much white or something. Maybe because I just did the Asian.

Wow! I am still finishing up the Patriotic one. Getting there. Is there a thread started for the Asian one? Is the solid Kona black? These blocks look really nice!

I don't think a brand was stated Anna, just solid black but that's what I normally use. I had ordered some Moda black to see the difference but don't think I will buy it again. Sure is a thinner weight fabric than Kona and found after doing these blocks I'd rather sew with Kona cotton. Lesson learned for me. Did the same thing with the white and don't like it as well either. Going to go to the Craftsy site today and order both colors while they have the 4 yd. cuts on sale.
