    Help, not enough focus fabric


    I only have enough focus fabric for 40 of the 61/2 unfinished delectable mountain, need 48. Fabric is from 2000. Not sure who made it.
    Any ideas? Photo attached.

    I feel your pain. Had the same problem. Found a piece on Ebay, fortunately. Hope you can do the same. Try Etsy, too.

      Thanks anabeth, I’ve searched with no positive results. Found the selvage with fabric info.
      Found durstgirls post of December 28 in show and tell. She ran out of focus fabric.
      I will try some variant of her solution
      Thanks durstgirls!

        Try missingfabrics.com.

        Or, make 8 of the mountains out of a different fabric, and put them on the ends of the borders so it looks like it was intentional.

        Good luck!

          Thanks Marion, great minds think alike. Here’s a photo of my plan. I finished these yesterday. Still auditioning the floaters.
          I will try that web site for one more search! Thanks again
