Hi everyone! I'm new here and I have a question for you girls. About 4 years ago I ordered a quilt kit from Keepsake Quilter. I was still working at the time and didn't get around to putting the quilt together till last year. Well, my problem is I got all the piecing done, took it to a longarm quilter and just picked it up this week. I used the last of the material for the binding and was almost finished sewing it on and noticed I didn't have enough. Now I'm on a search for the material. It is Maywood Studios "Sail Away" collection. It is medium blue background, dark blue/black stems and white daisy like flowers with red center. Flower is about quarter inch diamater. Anyone have an idea how I can find some? I've already searched the web but have had no luck. Thanks for your time and advice if you have any.

Cabingirl - I'm no help but some of the quilters on here will be spouting out websites for you to go to right and left so just hang on there a little while. Someone will know the answer. Welcome to this forum BTW>

cindyg-thanks for the welcome. I have found that all the quilter I know are the kindest, most helpful and generous people. I would really love to finish this quilt because it is my favorite so far. I haven't done that many because I haven't been quilting that long, only a few years. So I still consider myself a beginner. I will have lots of questions for everyone I am sure. Have a great day.

Try going to www.fabrics.net and you give them a description and someone may get back to you with the fabric. It worked for me when I ran short. Good Luck

Hi Cabingirl, I'm heading to the LQS tomorrow and they have a huge selection. Please post a picture within this thread and I'll print it and bring it with me and ask the ladies there. Good luck I'm sure eventually that you'll find what you are looking for.

Thanks for the replies ladies! I can't post a picture because camera is not working right now and we are at the cabin for a month so all I have is the laptop. LynnS, yes that is the collection and what I am looking for is like MAS143-R only in blue. WeSignificant do you have the blue in your collection? Appreciate all of your help, hope to find some soon so I can finish this project. You are a great bunch of gals and look forward to getting to know you better. Have a great day.

Well I got all excited that I had found it for you....but I'm sure it'll be found in the end. I'm sorry that wasn't the one. I'll keep looking. I love to look for fabric and now I have a good excuse!
