I will be very surprised if Fons and Porter will make it right with you. I have had very bad luck with them regarding a couple of kits.

And Im short...literally one 5 7/8" block the large sunflower pattern by Ro Gregg, Ive been searching and cannot find a shop that has it, I think I was shorted a hair in the amount of fabric given, but I have no way to prove it because I did not measure it when I recieved, I know it was not cutting error because the scraps for this would never make a 5" block if all sewn together....so....I was hoping one of you had some I could purchase!!

Help me please!!

Did you by chance pre-wash your fabric? That could account for the shortage. That doesn't make it right. They should know that some quilters pre-wash their fabric and adjust for that.

I would contact them and let them know you were shorted on your yardage. They should make it right.

Sorry you are having this problem. That's why I don't like to buy kits. I had that happen with a BOM. I didn't notice it bc I don't do the blocks every month. I don't do BOM any more either. I hope you get the replacement fabric.

I found this fabric on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/KEEP-YOUR-SUNNY-...item518a51cf85

They have three 1/2-yd cuts available. Is this the right fabric? It's really hard to tell from the quilt photo.

I would call them and tell them what you need and see what they say. I would say most companies would make this right. The quilt is wonderful...
