In search of violets!!

The Cotton Mill Quilt Guild is making a large size "I Spy" quilt for the new elementary school that will open up in Marysville in early 2013.    

We have gathered fun fabrics from members and friends of the guild.   We now have over 200 hundred hexagon blocks cut.  We have some great fabrics, but because it's a school project we want to include some notable New Brunswick things.  We have a great chickadee, which of course is the New Brunswick bird.  One thing we are missing is a good violet fabric.  And I wonder if there is any such thing as fiddlehead fabric?  I still have a few members stashes to go through in search of violets, but if you happen to have a small piece of violet or fiddlehead fabric or other important fabric that you would donate, we would really appreciate it.

I'm just home after being away a week. I might have some violets.. not sure. I'll have a look in a day or two once I get straightened around...

Did you find violet fabric; I might have some. Shoot me an email if you're still looking....
Fiddleheads? Your best bet might be to have someone embroider you one or do some "greenwork" !!

Just read about your search for fiddlehead fabric. When I looked at what it is, I think I could find something in the specialized street near my house, in Nippori, Japan...
Just let me know how to send it to you as soon as I find it. It might be some time after the 15th of August though.
