See if www.fabric.com has a color you need. A warning - they're a low
budget place. One time they shipped me an order in a Jimmy Dean Sausage
box. The box was new and clean but said "refrigerate immediately". I
waited for days for my fabric and happened to mention it to my sweetheart.
You know how the rest of this story goes. Polly

Wow, Thanx for the laugh I had tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard.
My hubby would have done the same and then remembered days later to tell
me something came. Too funny.
Thanx

I'm with Polly about recommending http://www.fabric.com as a
source for velvet. I think what makes the finished quilt so heavy is
all of the velvet PLUS batting PLUS backing. I backed mine with black
satin as it was to be used as a VERY decorative bedspread. I wanted to
be able to get it on & off the bed quickly and satin is good for that --

Both good places - I've shopped them many times! If the actual links
to velvet doesn't work, the first part of the links will.
