I know they make the I love Lucy fabric b/c I believe I have seen it. I'm thinking it was at Joann Fabric, or maybe online. Sorry I can't be more help. "

jim justice said… I haven't had any problems when shopping in quilt/fabric stores, but i do most of my shopping online. I took a class at a local church and of the dozen or so women, mostly middle aged, ,like myself, only a few were friendly and helpful, while the majority either ignored me or acted as if i had the plague. Wasn't much fun. I seem to be able to learn on my own . I subscribe to many quilting magazines and watch quilting demos on YouTube for most of my education. If i were looked down on at a shop, i would make sure they heard about it and explain that I wouldn't be back in to spend any money. lol Jim

I joined a quilt guild some yrs ago where I live(Nashville, TN) I was so disillusioned by the negative treatment -I vowed to never return and to date still have not. However, I didn't let the negative cause me to stop quilting. I don't frequent quilt shops much, since the internet is a good way to get supplies I need much cheaper. I'm also a handquilter -so many times people say why handquilt? -I say "Why not?!"

"I came across a similar quilt sometime about a year ago, but can't recall the website I saw it from. I have seen some similar quilts since on pininterest, but didnt bother repinning. One of my earlier posts shows how I strip-pieced around 16 strips of 2.5" by 8m together - and the from here I cut on the diagonal to give me 16 large triangles which formed two separate quilts... a blue and a green quilt. Certainly a fun quilt to work on!"
