    They look like Hoffman Batiks at least the two outside ones. Good Luck finding what you want. I think that finding just the right fabric for what you are making is half the fun and some quilts take longer to put fabrics together than others.

    I do not have it, but distinctly remember it -- it was handwritten and all cuts at the same price were lumped together. I think I sent the right shop an inquiry and am hoping to hear back from them. Meanwhile I am going to the Quilting/Sewing Expo tomorrow and will carry what I have there.

    I don't have any more advice for you, but just want to say I love your title! Isn't that the darn truth in life? Always one more mistake to make! Funny.

    I carried my funky-colored batiks to the sewing expo in Fredericksburg, VA, yesterday, and tried to find some very different color that "popped". It wasn't until I found the hand dyed silk ribbon that it pulled together, and then I was on the hunt for some yardage. I believe the original batiks are Hoffman, as I saw something very close to one of them in a different color.

    Anyway, now I need to figure out what to make of all this (about 3 yds total). I had to buy a yard of the new greenish batik, so it becomes the new "main". I do not know how to incorporate the ribbon; a very creative friend insisted I get it, and maybe she can show me how to use it! The original batiks are top right in the first photo and bottom in the second. Thank you for all your help so far!
