Find Fabric Requirements for BOTH fabric versions of Laurel Ridge are now on the BOM page. Amounts are different for each color way because there are different numbers of fabrics in the two kits. Overall, they are about the same total yardage.

I bought the Spring Laurel Ridge kit. Love the fabric! I would like to get more of the floral border fabric so I can increase the border width. I like a deeper drop on my bed quilts. Will it be available and if so, when?

[Barbara B.]

There is no plan to sell yardage from the Quilt Show store. I am certain many shops will offer it. Keep checking online to find sources. Since it has just been announced shops have not had time to order and receive it yet. Give it a few weeks at least.

Hello Barbara regarding the granddaughter quilt with the green check is the fabric requirements an error in yardage of 1.5 yards as it does not look that much fabric in the photo, just thought to check.

[Barbara B.]

I don’t have the pattern yet so I can’t check. You are right, there doesn’t seem to be that much green check there. Perhaps Lynn will give some insight. I will check with her.

Hello All,
Thank you for your questions. I used the green gingham as the binding, so the fabric requirement is larger.

Jill, I was thinking same as you since the (12) 5.5 inch blocks would only have needed 3/8 yard.
Since the binding does not show in the picture there was no way of knowing. Thank you Lynn
for being so responsive to the forum. I don't ever remember a designer of the BOM doing that.
You are the best!! HelenW

Thank you so much for posting the fabric requirements sooner rather than later. I really debated buying a kit, but I'd like to find my own fabrics for this quilt. I may figure out that was a mistake soon, but I hope not.

Linda, One way to find fabrics you like if you are picking your own color palette is to go to the manufacturers
and look at collections. You just type the name like Marcus Fabrics in the google search and the
website will have all the collections and designers and examples in Lookbooks of the fabrics and
quilts made up from them. Do you like reproduction, batiks, or any general type of fabrics. I have
been using Bonnie Sullivans Woolie flannels for several of the TQS BOM's. I have a feeling that
this BOM would be too small of pieces for the flannel. HelenW

Will there be a coloring sheet that we might tweak some colors?

[Barbara B.]

If someone makes one. I have a few friends playing with alternative ideas, I will see if they have an “original” layout made.

Barbara, Somewhere on Lynn Wilder's blog I read that she uses EQ8 to do a lot of her designing of
quilt patterns. There is a good chance she could give you a coloring page very easily. HelenW
