chickenscratch Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Does anybody have about a half yard to one yard of this? Think I bought it JoAnn's but not sure. No maker's mark on selvedge edge. It is bright yellow with dark yellow fern/banana leaves. 45" wide I will pay generously for it plus rush shipping to my house.

chickenscratch Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 HELP!! Anybody. This is what I chose for my spiral lone star and I don't think I'm going to have enough to do the mariner's compass corners. I really don't want to mix and match fabrics. I really believe the girl cut it short. I have plenty of all the others and I ordered a yard of each when I bought them. I even have my relatives checking Walmart for some, even though they probably don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat C Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sorry Teresa. I checked my stash and don't even have anything close. I'll check our local Joann's if I get to town tomorrow. I feel your pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitepinesquilter Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm 1600 miles from my home, but my mom has none of this in her stash. Wished I could help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyh Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I will be going to Joann's tomorrow and will look for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks to all. I am going to be about 1/4-1/3 yard short, if I figured it correctly. I still have plenty of the others. I don't understand how this happened. I'm not happy about it either. How hard is it to measure a 36" piece of fabric, really.

RitaR Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 All I have is less than a FQ. It is so pretty. Check out Thousands of Bolts only one Nut. They have pretty nice fabric.. a few months back I ordered 5or 6 yards of 6 fabrics. Love them all. Rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharonarooni Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Teresa, How long ago did you buy it? We have a Joann's near me and I can look there for you, too. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anette D. Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Sorry, but I don't have that in my stash--however, I wish I did because it's beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I bought it in the spring, just for this quilt. I've had it folded up in a plastic tote until I got time to work on it. I should have checked the measurements when I got them home so I could go back and get more. I have the center star points pieced and it is going to be gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne from Guam Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Sometimes these kinds of problems add personality yo the quilt...maybe you could find a similar tone of yellow and substitute it in. There is always a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyh Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Teresa, I looked today at our Joann's and did not find it, very sorry!! I don't shop there very much anymore, and the batik section has really shrunk! I will keep my eye out for it at our other fabric stores that carry more batiks.

chickenscratch Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks. Joann's has one on their website that is that same batiky look yellow, but it has white dragonflies on it. Not sure how that would look with what I have. I might try to omit the yellow from the outer points and the outer border, but don't know what that will do to my spiral. Time to get the colored pencils back out and do another mock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Teresa, I drive by our Joanns on my way to physical therapy, which I have again tomorrow. I can drop in and see if they have some. If they do you want 1/2 yard or a yard or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Bonnie, If they have it get me a yard and I'll send you money back plus overnight shipping costs and gas money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donna sco Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Will try message again. www.findmyfabric.com I am not sure if this is the site I used but I scanned my fabric and posted a request and within a week I was lucky to get a response with the correct fabric to sell.

HeidiP Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Teresa, I stopped at one of our Joann's Fabrics today. They did not have the fabric you're looking for, but said that if you take your fabric, or the code on your receipt, to one of their stores, their inventory system will tell them what store has some left. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks everybody. We are going to Owensboro this weekend to help Brandon, Tiffany, and kids get moved. I plan to check all the stores there and in Evansville. Hopefully somebody will have it or something very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat C Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Teresa, I didn't get to town yet but am planning on this weekend. Hopefully one of us will find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat C Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hi Teresa, Sorry, I didn't have any luck at our local store. I hope you came up with something at least close. I know how frustrating it is to not have enough fabric. Please do post your quilt when its done. It sounds beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I did not find that fabric in Owensboro either, but I did get some that has the same shade and depth of color, without the leaves. I will just have to fill in with that. Thank goodness it is being pieced, so I can fussy cut the best places to match it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Glad you found something Teresa! I looked today at our Joann's in Elko, NV and they didn't have it either. Can't wait to see your completed top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
