Try www.equilter.com They have a feature that lets you select one color in any print and their site will find all the other fabrics- solids, batiks, prints- that have that same color match in it. Their screen is exceptionally good about showing the true colors of fabrics.

RED, is one of the hardest colors to match. So if you make one Please buy all your fabric at one time. Plus extra. I made a king size Black,red and white. Ran out of red. Had to do boarder in black. Not happy.

I have a friend who made a Yellow Brick Road with all shades/tones/values of reds and it came out beautiful!!! She then appliqued some yellow flowers on it. I think as long as it says "red" you'll be fine.

fabric.com lets you put your selections on a design wall and it has really helped me with coordinating fabrics.
They are very reasonable and give great service too.
BTW,...I can't wait to see your red and white. Eventually I am going to make one too!;)

There's a pattern of reds called Prairie Paisley 11 lots of reds and patterns to choose from go to ericas and old country store fabrics they each have some that are differant, this is what i am going to work with for a log cabin quilt. Good Luck

I am a red fan (you should see how many red tops I have, haha) and have trouble with red/oranges and lean towards blue-reds. But quilting has helped open my eyes ~ they are all in the same family and should go together.

I did a google image search for 'red quilts', I think it help to have a visual. :) take a look;

Looking at these quilts was so inspiring...now I want to make a red and white quilt!

I just got my Clotilde catalog. They have a line called Redwork Renaissance. They have charm packs, jelly rolls and fat quarters. It might be the Moda line Dorian was talking about.
