I really like this pattern and want to make it. My mom and I were at Joann's and decided to guestimate how much I needed, since I didn't have the pattern with me. I got 4 yards of each color. When I checked the pattern, I need 4 1/2 of the white and 5 1/4 of the red.

So I'm now trying to decide if I should try to make it smaller with a border of the smaller print that I have. I think it should have some kind of border anyway. Or If I should go back to Joann's and see if they still have the same two fabrics.

Oops hit enter too early. What are your thoughts?

I think a "quick" trip back for me is in order. But then, I am a facilitator of stash building.

The only thing is, it isn't a quick trip. It's 30 miles one way.

Can you go online and get the rest of the fabric??

Can you call them and ask them to mail it you if you use a credit card?

I bought the fabric a year ago. I don't even know if they will have it. The more I look at it, the more I don't like the smaller red print. So I guess I will take a swatch with me next time I go and see if I can find more. But I think I will buy extra red if they have it. I think it needs a border.

I like the red print so if you really hate it my address is...LOL!

If you can't get more of the same you could make it smaller then put a wider border round in a toning fabric. Just an idea!

At the risk of sounding stupid.. What is a toning fabric?

No such thing as stupid question! :D

By toning fabric, I mean one that goes with your original fabrics ie the same colours but a different pattern. Maybe a larger red on white print or even a white on red print?
