Blue dragonfly is just my name for the center fabric. The selvege reads "Nature's Glow #2376M by Ro Gregg = www.northcott.net 100% cotton. This fabric also comes in tans and golds. Both were pretty, but I'm a "blue" girl.

Just keep looking. I didn't have a pattern with yardage on it, so I just kept buying 1.5 yds of fabrics that I thought blended. As I gathered more fabrics, I would cut off a 2" piece and I carried them around with me like a rainbow to match coordinating fabrics. One fabric that I used, I bought in NC last fall and I it was cut into fat quarters. I bought all they had. haha I nearly ran out of the dark blue that I used for sashing. I bought it SEVERAL years ago as a remnant. Had my daughter go through the trash for one more 2" piece. Found the one that I carried with me for matching purposes and it worked. yeah!!!

Wow, this is just beautiful, great job of improvising a table runner into a gorgeous quilt, love it. I just finished several table runners, maybe I could do one of these.
