Date: 12/29/12 10:05 PM I finally found a pattern to make Mum a lap quilt for her birthday in April.
Now I need the fabric. Mum's whole house is shades of beige, but she wears lots of red, black and navy. So I was planning a red and black or red and navy quilt.
I need about 20 different fabrics ranging from solids through a variety of scales in print. I will be using 3 inch strips, but if I found the right jelly roll, I could make it work with smaller strips.
I would prefer fabric from just one line, as red can vary from orange red to blue red and I want all the red to be the same shade, just mixed with the black or blue in the prints.
I will look at one other colour in the prints if it is not too dominant.
Thank you in advance for the suggestions. ------ Proud parent of a Dwight International School Honour Roll Student |

I HIGHLY recommend this site, because they group their fabrics according to designers line. AND they show coordinating colors.
