Background fabric

[Linda M.]

To japarkes: these are a couple of practice houses I have done. The one on the right is made with the Art History 101 canvas.

Just practicing inserting and attachments.

They look great! Do you think the canvas is less white than the correct fabric? Or is it just your other background fabric making it look creamier?

[Linda M.]

I have looked at the picture of the fabric on the Quilt Show site where they are selling the kits and it looks pretty much the
same to me. It might just be the piece that I used has darker markings or the display board that I have them on
is white.

If one was to use different fabrics for the backgrounds of the houses in the inner circle and the outer circle, do you know how much fabric of the 4+ yards would be needed for the inner circle sky background? Thanks.

Is the background fabric Art History 101 actually a panel? Trying to locate some and it's sold per panel. I'm not sure if this is the correct fabric or not.

Not a panel. It's bought by the yard.

It is a wonderful fabric, but unfortunately it's sold out. The Quilt Show said once sold out it's gone. I've searched and there is a canvas copy, but would be too heavy. I did read one post awhile back someone found it at a certain shop, so may want to scroll or try to do a better search, but it's prob gone by now. I heard Alex Anderson say on a (think it was current?) youtube vid that they may be getting more kits in March? Not sure if they would be the same fabrics.
