    Default Anybody recognize this fabric??

    I received these blocks at the senior center a few months ago and I have almost finished making two quilt tops from the blocks. But I need a bit more of this fabric. I have spent most of the day searching on the internet. On eBay, I did find two of the fabrics in the quilt, but I might be able to find a quarter of a yard if I knew who made it. Otherwise, I will have to go looking for another fabric that will work for binding on this quilt. Blue is not a favorite fabric of mine so I have very few batiks in that color.

    Wish I had it ManiacQuilter, the good thing about batiks is that they blend really well. I would choose another blue/grey or even a light batik. It is almost impossible to find the same batik. I have tried.

    it looks like one that I have gotten at Joann's in the past. You have so many options for binding for that quilt - even if you had to use something you didn't already have in there. You could also use a solid batik (like Hoffman 1895's) or a marble.

    I have one that looks similar, but maybe a different shade of blue. It came from Joannes.

    Have you looked at Anthology or Timeless Treasures Tonga Treats? They both have some batiks that look similar.

    I have it as well. It's from Joanns from several years ago. I have about two yards; I can send you some if you think it will work.[ATTACH=CONFIG]549118[/ATTACH]

    I have that fabric which I got at Joanne's. I was at the store earlier this week and they still have it. Check their online site also and see if it is still there with their batiks if you're not close to a store.
