Looking for Patriotic fabric

If you have El's book 'Quick Trips' then you will know what I am talking about. The quilt I want to make is on page 15 and is called "United We Stand". I sent a msg to QIAD and they do not have any of the fabric now. So I am searching. There are 9 different patterns in this. I have found two of them. Looking at the quilt and counting from the boarder in, I have the 7 & 9 ones. #7 is the same as #2 only 2 has white background. It is hoffman, name is celebrate and I have done a search on the internet.

If any one has some of these and would sell them to me I would appreciate it. I only need 1/2 yd of each cept the boarders.

Thanks,
Kathy

Oh I wish I had some for you, but I have no patriotic fabric. I guess I should go shopping. LOL

Thanks again.
Yes I've done a Google search, an eBay search, and just about any search I could think of. I found that on the hoffman piece it had the name so I did a search on that trying to find the same only in white background. Still no luck put I won't give up. It is like a treasure hunt now. HE HE, I'll just keep searching until I have what I want. I did purchase a simular pattern and I like it so as long as they are close to what is in the book I'll be happy.

Happy quilting!
Kathy

Kathy (Quiltwithmom) - I googled and got this web address for Bear Paw Quilt. They have a listing of quilt fabrics and Hoffman was one of the choices. Then I did a search within the site for "patriotic" and it came up with these choices on the page.
http://www.bearpawquilting.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi

I don't have the United We Stand Pattern - so I'm not sure if these are the fabrics you are looking for. But I bookmarked this site because I collect red/white/blue fabric to make quilts with - my son is in the Army.
Hope this helps! Shelly
