ChristyH! I read that you have another green that matches but does not have the gold on it! Do you FMQ? If you do FMQ, I would try using a gold thread (I'm sure there is a gold thread for quilting out there) and FMQ a similar design onto the green fabric. You may not need much but just enough to help it match. I wish you luck. These types of things happen all the time and we just have to take a deep breath and figure out how we may make it work.

This is it put together. I was rolling right along, not realizing that my plan to “just run to Joann’s after work on Monday to get more green” wasn’t any option.

That is one of my plans. I’m also sort of afraid to do anything else because I know in my heart of hearts as soon as I make a decision, I’ll come home to someone selling an Entire bolt of it. Lol

I promise im breathing. Lol. But that is a very interesting suggestion. I’m going to talk to my mom and see if she thinks it’s a feasible work around since she does the quilting. Thank you!

Hi. I’m new here. I’m not really great at quilting but what I lack in skill I make up for on enthusiasm. Unfortunately I tend to jump feet first so now I’m desperately trying to find 1.5 yard of a discontinued Joanns Exclusive Keepsake Calico Dark Green Marble Blender Glitter fabric to finish a quilt top.
I’m just so annoyed with myself right now and I feel like surely there’s somewhere I haven’t looked to find this.
