No worries. I have this awesome son-in-law who's mother is a professional quilter. He went with me to buy the fabric. I gave him a snippet and he is already there...(our Walmart has a fabulous fabric department). I called the lady who works the department and she has already cut the extra and he should be home in about 10 minutes with the fabric. All is square with the world.

Here are the fabrics I have chosen to use. The bird blocks are my focus fabric. The all over birds pattern is my backing, The light blue floral is my main color, the darker blue next to it is my second fabric.
The lighter green is my inner border and the rest of the fabrics are the other supporting fabrics. So, what do you think? Will this work okay?
The last picture is for the quilter who was looking for barn red. I went ahead and purchased the 3.5 yards they had just in case they sold out. If you don't want it, that is fine. I can make a border print dress for a granddaughter or special friend - p erhaps even me. Just let me know.
