If you picked it up at a yard sale, chances are that it is an older, discontinued print, in which case the chances of finding a picture of it on the web are... slim.

Why not just take a picture of it yourself with a camera? Or if you have a scanner, scan it?

Wow, that's a lively print. I hope someone can find information on it for you. As Ghostrider says, we're good like that on this board.

I see the Bright by Fiori on the Robert Kaufman site is a similar idea. But going back to your first post, you said you got several yards and only the name is on it? Just looking at my Robert Kaufman fabric & beside that it gives the collection name & # and web site and it repeats about every eight inches along the selvedge edge. Does yours just say Robert Kaufman? Maybe it a decorative fabric rather than a 100% cotton?

Mine just says Robert Kaufman Co, Inc. There's nothing else. I'm positive it's just regular cotten fabric, it's not think like home dec or anything.

My guess from that info (and sort of from the photo) is that it's more than 'average' age. I'm having trouble searching by image because the photo doesn't show a full pattern repeat, but try uploading it to 'Find My Fabric' and see if they have better luck. http://www.findmyfabric.com/

Can't help on the name, but if you fussy cut that beautiful fabric and sash with black , you'll have an award winning quilt.

So are you saying this fabric may be soemthing other than quilting? I'm sure it's cotton, but I guess that doesn't mean too much.

I did check the find my fabric site and I had no luck there either.

it means your fabric was made some time ago for the "general" sewing market and might be from Hancocks, Joanns, Fabric world, or even Walmart. That is why you can not find it on their page. It was mass market goods, not a collection geared for quilter's. It is still GOOD fabric I am sure but you might want to stress test it before cutting up for anything. That means make a tiny 1/4" snip across the grain and see how easily it tears...if it rips easily it might be dry rotted. Have fun with it, it looks nice in the pix.
