I really can`t remember 
sorry.....do you really think you`ll need more than 5 meters for the background??/
sorry.....do you really think you`ll need more than 5 meters for the background??/AlisonQ ... You're on!!!!!!!!!! We'll have to figure this one out as to the where and when, but of course, FIRST you have to make your end happen! Your thoughts about the DJ fabric ... exactly why I am not sold on the one I got yesterday. Only a 1/2 yard ... good for inventory!!! 
HuntA ... I like it ... though I know we need a lot more than 5 metres and want to know I have all in hand before I start. I can remember seeing a similar one though I think it was in blues ... no idea where. I seem to remember it as a very solid fabric (as in not wimpy and thin). Any clue on your end where yours came from?

I don't want to scare you but ........
(scroll down to How much background do I need?)
http://www.dearjane.com/newbie_info.htm
I've also seen the same scary number other places where I have been reading!
YIKES, eh? ... and of course, I will be PPing, so I am looking at the upper number.
YIKES, again!
On the upside, I am thinking that if I fizzle out with a Baby Jane ... at least it is a basic fabric for which I could find lots of other uses.

Or go scrappy and have an assortment of background fabrics?
I have contemplated that ... I just don't want plain white or cream or TOT versions of them. Though it would be a good way to use stash.
How does yours coordinate with the speckle you showed me?
Maybe use both?

Any selvage info?
Newish? or how long since you bought it?
Thinking last night .. was the speckle maybe a FLand acquisition?
I seem to think I saw it there ... dear knows how long ago though!

you might be right about the speckle from FLand....I `m sure bought it this past year...the quality is pretty darn good.....I was also thinking I saw a really nice backing fabric at FL that might work...I have some of it.....it is not speckles but I think would be perfect.... I bought a green of the same fabric and is on one of my quilts now. I`ll try and take a photo of it......since background fabric is so wide you might be able to buy less meters ....I know it is expensive but if you can get it at the 50% off for members day it wouldn`t be too much.....

I've been thinking of FLand ... not a member right now, but it would be worth joining to get the knockdown price.
Yes, please photo and tempt me!
The Guelph store is pretty good with quilting fabrics. Orangeville disastrous!
