Yesterday I found this beautiful quilting fabric with beautiful scenes reminiscent of the My Jesus and I book, here is my blog posting this morning.
If anyone is after this fabric, here are the online links I was able to find in the States that might be of help to those who are interested:

Your quilt is going to be ADORABLE! I have not progressed past squares, but you inspire me.

Jen...in typical *me* style..I bought the shop out of what they had  I just thought that there would be women who would like to get some from me, as I have done an online search on the Australia web pages and there is no selling online links like in the States.
So I don't know as yet how many yards I will need to make this quilt....I think I'm making a single bed quilt..if not, it will definately be a cot quilt.
The way I am using it (with hexagon patches) I am wasting a bit of material..I think that the material could be used to make beautiful Mass bags for little children (I think there may have been a thread about that recently?)there would be no wastage in a project like that.
Jen (Jen L) I've just added another link to my quilting post at StarryMantle that takes you to the hexagon I used to make the patches..as they have to be perfect and I was struggling to create a hexagon by myself. I think once you have a perfect hexagon to use, it would be as easy to use as a square.

I *LOVE* this fabric! I saw it a year ago and I am hoping for the chance to purchase it to make quilts for my own dc....not that I quilt...yet but I do sew and see this as a wonderful thing to wrap the kiddoes up in!
I can't wait to see how it turns out Anne!
God love you,

I love that you let us know about this fabric, Anne! It is just beautiful, and I'd love to find it and make some lovely gifts for Christmas! Thank you for sharing the name of the pattern as well so I can look for it!!
Your quilt looks just lovely so far! I can't wait to see the finished product! You definitely have an eye for coordinating fabrics!

Anne, thank you so, so much for posting this. I was able to purchase several yards at a reasonable price through an ebay vendor (Jordans of Oregon). I don't foresee myself having the time (or patience) to make a lovely quilt like yours, but I did find some nice coordinating fabric for trim and a soft sage fabric for backing to make simple crib blankets for the grandchildren, using the "Jesus and I" fabric as a topper. I plan to use batting in between, machine stitch the layers together in a simple box pattern, with yarn ties at the corner of each square. I also like the idea of Mass bags, which will, of course, have a copy of "Jesus and I" tucked in the pocket...a favorite treasure in our family. Thank you again for sharing your discovery of this charming fabric and all your thoughtful ideas for bringing faith and beauty together! You've helped provide meaningful Christmas gift ideas for one frustrated grandmother!

I believe all the links I left are now sold out and can find no more online myself...but I did find this it just wasn't listed under it's proper title. They are selling a small piece, but she actually has 2 yards left, so for anyone wanting more, you can contact the seller about the remaining amount.
