Go to one of the large online fabric stores and search "large floral" and you should find something.

They have a sheet set which includes the pillow cases, but I don't want to pay 49 dollars for sheets that will just be cut up... that and I heard you should not use sheets for a quilt...

Sheet fabric doesn't really work well for quilts. It's a totally different thread count. You can use them for backs, but I don't recommend for tops.

Don't you think if you get the colors right, the print won't really matter? That would be one way to make it "yours." Good luck in your search.

Now you're thinking! Great idea, I might have to do this. Many quilts I have seen and loved, now I am inspired to make instead of buy.

Try this one, seems to have the colors you are looking for and the "feel" of the fabric.

I actually like that too... more so than whats on the actual blanket. I'm definitely considering that print. Thank you!

This is very similar to the green, although I think on a smaller scale, but I don't know where you could find it for sale.

Thats what I say! lol I have no idea where to find this stuff for sale either! Pottery Barn does sell fabric by the yard, but A. it's at $40 a yard and B. They didn't have any of it. So I'm like, well, similar is better... and It would be my own then. I'm trying to figure out the other green... and the more solid blue is stripes, and the blue on white looks like chains. I like the fabric in the link though thanks!!!
