    A friend of mine would like to purchase this fabric but we cannot identify the manufacturer or collection line. Someone had told us that they purchased fabric exactly like this at her local Wal-Mart. I have been to our local stores and they do not have this particular fabric. Similar ones, but not this.
    I have included two pictures of different parts of the yardage...black, white, yellow, butterflies, and birds. Can anyone identify this fabric for us? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It reminds me of one from Hancock Fabrics earlier this summer.

    Are you referring to Hancock Fabrics or Hancock of Paducah? Hancock fabrics has a line called Small Talk which has the same colors and similar features but is not the same fabric. I thought maybe the fabric we were searching for was a coordinate to this line, but unfortunately it isn't. Still hoping someone recognizes this. Thanks for the suggestion though. Gave me some new avenues to explore.

    Are you sure there is no information printed on the selvage? I ask because I once searched all over for a fabric, and then I found the information to order it on the selvage...well, after I googled that information, that is.

    If nothing printed on the selvage at all it is more then likely from AE Nathan fabric manufacturer.

    I found this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/22515207...uptown-flowers
    and this: http://www.missfancys.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
    These sewers may have the info about the fabric you need.

    I found lots of images of this fabric in seconds using Google image search. I used 'black and yellow birds and butterflies fabric' for the topic. :D

    The fabric is a fabric Walmart carried a few years ago so probably will not be available now in any Walmart. I bought it on clearance and made a quilt a couple of years ago. As suggested, you might be able to get it somewhere online.

    I was thinking of Hancock Fabrics. I actually purchased something similar and there were two or three coordinating prints, which made me think of it.
