Good luck with this everyone.

Check out Nuances by P&B textiles. there are 7 colors from light to dark and you could add a really dark to them for your 8 colors. That's what I have to use but no time to start it! You do have to cut lengthwise instead of seam to seam.

Some else just gave you the post number to open up. The quilter's name on her avatar is roolen if that helps in the future.
She does absolutely fabulous quilting. If I remember correctly on her blog or one of her posts, she said she is an engineer. That would certaintly help with her measurements being perfect. Good luck.

An FYI....be careful what colour you use for the outer edge of your "dark". I made one with C'mas fabrics for the coffee table in our lobby at work. My outer fabric was red. Someone made a comment that the first thing they saw was a swaztika. (sp?) Now, that is all I see when I look at it. I will applique something on it to tone that down....but it really was a disappointment to hear that. :(

Patti: I would never have noticed it either--I think your topper is great.
I have a question: the pattern instr. say arrange from dark to light; when I look at pics, it seems the fabrics are arranged in any color arrangement. Do I have to do dark to light or can I do my own color placement? Thank you!!
