    Default Fabric Search

    I'm searching again for fabric to match my bedroom decor. These 2 fabrics are actually in the quilt (store bought) and I'd like to bring them in to the room for a little accent. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.


    On the first one I'm looking for the blue and white fabric....this is used for the border and also some of the rings of the wedding ring quilt.

    This one is actually a pale yellow with blue flowers

    Why not take the quilt to the quilt shop and look for coordinating prints? I am afraid you might spend months trying to find something that doesn't exist. I think you can spend months searching and never find it because its a store bought quilt.

    Would some of the Summer Breeze fabrics go with it?

    It looks kinda like Waverly fabric, which JoAnn sells. If you can't find something there, I completely agree that taking the quilt to a shop is your best bet. Sometimes, even when the fabric is brand new on the market, you can't find it after a couple of weeks if it turns out to be a popular line. I can't imagine trying to find a match for something that was mass-produced probably a year before it went to market

    thanks everyone....the summer breeze line has some nice fabrics that will match. I was just hoping beyond hope that maybe someone had one of them.

    I would take the quilt with me when I go, ( as someone else also suggested ) that way, it will save you a lot of time. I think I have seen the bottom fabric at Jo-Ann's.....IF you purchase the fabric in the quilt shop, maybe you could make valances and put sheers up to the windows for a window treatment. You could also use Yellows and Blue solid colors for pillows etc.

    Good luck with finding your fabrics. If is is Waverly, their fabrics are often available at places like Hancock's or Joanne's.

    I see it as an opportunity to use a stripe, a check, maybe a plaid with all the colors or all the above.

    Please come back and show us what you find to coordinate.
