We have a new Walmart SuperStore...and while some of the fabric there is about the same as tissue, there are also some rather nice pieces...I picked up a few, did a prewash on them, and they seem to be fine...the color is good, and the quality didn't wash away with the sizing....

I'll look here on Thursday and see if they have that fabric.
For that price, I'm thinking it's not all that great of a fabric.
Ok, just read the description again and that's for just a small piece.

How much do you need if I find it?

I would like at least one yard but would rather have 1.5 yards.

Alco stores have the Fabric Palette pre cuts. No way to order online from them though. Is anyone close to an Alco that can look for this fabric?

Well, I visited the Ben Franklin in Webster Groves and they do NOT have that fabric. They do not use sku numbers or anything like that because they only have flats, and according to the lady there, the left overs. They also carry some fabric on bolts, but the geometric solids that you are looking for is not familiar to the ladies there. Sorry. I tried! :(
