Help wanted please

[maliw]

Ok all you super sleuths, I'm making a quilt for DGD2 ( all the other littlies have had one) the colours I'm using or hoping to use are pink, grey, cream, navy and ---------- a pale copper colour but I can't find anything. A shimmery fabric would be okay as that is what is on her wallpaper, any ideas gratefully received.

How much do you need ????

[maliw]

I'm not too sure as I haven't decided what I'm going to do. Possibly QAYG and use it for the sashing as the same colour is used on her wallpaper between triangles. What I usually do is get the fabrics and then decide.

I don't know if any of these will help? If you could say if these are too orange, or too whatever, it might be easier to help you hunt

Thanks @Lisalou1965  yes they are a bit too dark/ orange. I've been thinking it may be a bit more towards a rosegold but I don't think it's going to be easy to match.

I found some Riley Blake rose gold stripe so I've sent for a fat quarter, if it's ok I'll know I'm on the right track with the colour but I don't know if stripe is what I want until a) I see it or b) I cut it out and start with the pieces. I wish we had  a quilting shop nearby.

Let me photograph something I have ... just a metre of ... Tomorrow ok?

[maliw]

No rush @Iminei thank you.

@maliw I found copper stuff here. No idea if it would be suitable but I've ordered from them and can recommend!
You get an organza bag to keep your stuff in but I was not swayed by that! Definitely not!  Not even when I ordered the next time.... Nor will I be this time either.

@wrenkins , I was just going to say I now buy my yarn from Wool Warehouse as a) they are an excellent service and b) they too send their yarn out in lovely organza bags ............

@Missie I thought it was going to be a wee dopey thing but it'll hold a whole project's worth of bits.  Their prices and P&P are very competitive too.

Bugger ... completely forgot about this .. let me turf it out now and take a pic ... watch this space ...

I'mmmm baaack .. @maliw

They are called Metallica by Paula Nadelstern for Bernatex ...

I have a full metre of the purpley one but strangely only 10 1/2" wof of the red/copper one ... but I can't think for the life of me what I have used it for????!!!

Pics show the reverse at the top so you can gauge the colour beneath the silvery scales.

Thank you @wrenkins and @Iminei for your time and trouble, sadly neither will fit the bill - too dark/orange. The Riley Blake fabric arrived and it is still a bit on the dark side (no pun intended). I think I will have to wait and see if I can match it at Abakhan in their rems or see if CalicoLaine have anything. I don't think I will be able to see what I want online.

@maliw does it need to be plain?  I found this
