Japanese Taupes Yardage

    Japanese Taupes Yardage

    I am looking for yardage of Japanese taupe fabrics-plaid-to use in the background of
    a wallhanging. I can find sources for fat quarters and fat eights but haven't found
    a source for yardage.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Thanks so much!

    I just did an online search with key word "daiwabo" and this is what I've gotten:

    The Quilted Fox: https://www.quiltedfox.com/shop/Fabrics/By-Category/Taupes.htm

    Thimble Fingers Sewing Studio: http://www.thimblefingers.com/index.htm

    One Sister Designs: http://www.thimblefingers.com/index.htm

    Cotton Club: http://www.cottonclub.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi?&lastmenu=submenu-2500.html&product=Serenity_

    Fabric Indulgence: http://fabricandart.com/Japanese-Fabrics.html

    Pinwheels: http://www.pinwheels.com/

    I've checked them all and they all sell yardage. In the case of Pinwheels they price it by the quarter-yard but the fabric is intended to be sold as yardage. I've actually purchased fabric from Pinwheels before. Thank you for the question; I've saved these URLs for my future reference, even though I still have a fair amount of Japanese taupes in my stash.

    Would love to hear if anyone else has favorite online shops for Japanese fabrics both printed and woven.
