I just got an e-mail from my sister and she is wanting to make a quilt for her grand-daughter for Christmas with all the instruments she plays. i.e. bassoon, trumpet, alto and tenor sax, flute, piano. clarinet, and french horn. Does anyone know of a source of fabric with these instruments on it? Thanks for any-one's help. Sue

I just finished a musical quilt for my DGD. I had a hard time finding musical stuff. You just have to keep looking in every LQS and chain stores. Also ebay. To give a musical feel I made notes (machine appliqued) and # to solid colored fabric. Each note was in it's own block. For DGS I appliqued a drum and used it as a center for his quilt. I have seen colorful guitars out there also.
Good luck. Half the fun of making a theme quilt is fabric hunting. It took me 9 months to find enough varity of music stuff

Rock On by Aylyn (not sure of spelling). You can get it online from Bear Paw Quilt Company. It is moderately priced and fabulous quality. The fabric has drums, saxs, trumpets, guitars, etc. Their service is quick, and so far, I have had no problem with them.

I did one last year for the niece, IF I find the pic I will post it, I picked up fabric here and there and did a rag type quilt but did the pieces varied lengths, some were 24, som 18, others 9...however what you want would work out. She loved it and everyone at College wanted one too. It actually "brought" out the different intruments in a new light because of ragging it. Although I personally hate Wal Mart fabric, I did see some there and many quilt shops I have shopped in carry it. I got a lot online during the bunny hops..can't look and not buy!!!!!:)

Debbie Mumm has a line at Jo-Ann's that has musical instruments on it.

I am pretty certain that I saw some in the novelty cotton section as well.
Good luck!
