Thanks Margo! You are always in the know!!
I compared the swatches from P and B and noticed that the "F" (fushia?) and the "T" (Turquiose?) and not shown as current colors in this line. Will the Quilt Shoppe be using those? Both these fabrics need 3+ yards so they are very important to the look!!
Sarah probably has this all handled...

I just got this e-mail from Lilo:
Hi Margo,
I just got back in town and found your email. The fabrics are from PB Textiles and Red Rooster.
Fizz is with P&B
Buttons & Blooms is with Red Rooster.
If the members look through the introduction there is a listing of fabric color and code from each company.
Hope that helps.

Why does this quilt call for 26.5 yards of fabric??????

I also questioned the large amount of fabric and Sarah said it was right, there is a lot of applique so it has double thicknesses.

Those circular arcs also take quite a bit of fabric.

The 8-1/2" x 11" pre-cut sheets are $9.98: http://www.rickytims.com/online-stor...category_id=26
I was planning on using Carol Doak's foundation paper. 100 sheets 8 1/2" x 11" costs around $10. Can't afford Ricky's cool stuff, but with a quilt as beautiful as this one, I won't mind tearing all that paper!

Hey Frank! I hope you saw that I updated the info. After doing the math, I realized that the cost is about the same for the pre-cut sheets and the yardage.Originally posted by CobaltDoggyOriginally posted by MargoIt's more economical by the yard: http://www.rickytims.com/online-stor...category_id=26Originally posted by qwiltydoes anyone know of a cheaper alternative to Ricky Tims' Poly Stable Stuff for the piecing? at 6 packs at $12 +shipping, that's already almost $80 before buying fabric

Can't wait to see what you do with the pattern, no matter what foundation product you use! Hugs....

Hello one and all
I did email Sarah querying the 6yard required for the main background colour, thinking some of this might be for backing. Sarah kindly replied to say that the whole amount will be used setting the top of the quilt - the four large appliqued corners will each require 44" squares, so I'm presuming there will be a join for those of us who buy 42" wide fabric. Hope this helps
