Pattern doesn't show which fabric to use
http://www.connectingthreads.com/pat...__D10720D.html
I love this quilt, how can I figure out which fabrics to use, I can't see a close up??? This is my first time trying to copy a pattern.
I love these colors.

evidently she is just winging it. background fabric is around the blocks and the center of other blocks. if you do scrappy, just make one and see how much of each color you want to use you will need. without the pattern to tell you specifics, that's the best one can do.

Patterns may give a specific fabric line, but often times they do not. This pattern is by an independent pattern designer, not a fabric company, so chances are that's why she didn't include the specific fabric line info. If you are trying to get close to the photo of the quilt, take the pattern to your LQS and pick out fabrics that approximate, or send the designer an email.

The designer's website gives fabric info - it's Moda Etchings. http://www.itssewemma.com/love-links-quilt-pattern
I really hope you mean you bought the pattern, but this information wasn't given. The pattern is only $9, which is not much compared to the cost of fabric, batting, etc. I've taken inspiration from patterns before, but if I can't figure it out from the picture, I feel I really owe it to the designer to not just steal their idea.

{as long as you bought it in the first place- so have it to copy/enlarge; just copying a commercial pattern is a violation of copyright; you are supposed to purchase the pattern for your use}
