How to find fabric
I am starting a quilt and found I don't have enough of a certain fabric. I can't find it anywhere and read on this board of a site that may have discontinued fabric. Does anyone have that site or any other way to find fabric.

I'm a big fan of the already mentioned, missingfabrics -- I've connected many people with desired fabric over the years. Please remember to check your email/contact info after posting, can't tell you the number of times I've had just what was requested and got no response, nor was the ad taken down.

I don't know what your search engine is but after you post your photo here on the QB, do an internet search for "How to reverse search images" . Whatever your normal search engine is will help guide you to the right file. You upload your photo into the search engine and the engine will try to find the fabric, too. Lots of nonfabric pictures will come up but if posting here or searching in missingfabrics.com doesn't help, that reverse search for images will quickly sort through ebay and etsy for you.
Good luck!

I will try missing fabric. I appreciate all the help. I don't know what the name is but I do know the maker and line. I think I have decided I will make a big border to make up for the lack of blocks.
