I agree, it is a toile. My question wasn't about the pattern per se. It concerned the manufacturer. I thought that a PIndler & Pindler fabric was exclusive to P&P, or that a Duralee fabric could only be found at Duralee. But I've found this same fabric, in the same pattern, and the same colorways at 3 different manufacturers. My question concerned the fabric industry. Aren't patterns copyrighted? If they are, by whom? Are Duralee, P&P, and Braemore manufacturers? Do they look like 3 different companies but are really all owned by the same company? Instead of manufacturers, are they just distributors?

Sounds real cute Jen...right now I have 6 snowman and 6 snowfalkes for a quilt all 12.5 blocks..... I really want to make a Robin cute but this pattern had me pulling my hair out it just would not go together right so I am thinking of embroidering robins LOL...easier than appliquue. Red

Wow! I thought I had posted a reply here, but just heard from Salijo and rechecked and it's either gone or never got posted. So sorry! Maybe I had nearly finished writing the post and got called away from my computer. then came back and closed my browser without thinking. Things like that happen a lot around our house nowadays! I have saved the pictures you posted, Salijo. They are stunning, and I see from some of the other information people have led me to that a lot of fabric fusing is involved. Can you see how far in on the thin, curvy fused parts all those longish "applique" stitches go? Not that I would get to making this sort of quilt any time soon, but I am also leery of making a quilt with a lot of stuff just raw edged and fused onto it. Will this lead to a lot of fraying when it is washed? One more question, Salijo: Are the thin wavy lines effect in the center of the purple block and the web-like effect in the center of the orange block made by embroidering? Can you see enough to guess at how it is done? I'm thinking that maybe too much embroidery is involved and these are not for me, after all.

lynartist: I had tried that too and I kind of like that. Would it be a mistake to utilize the fabric in that way on one side and the medallion on the other side? I had planned for a velvet on the back. loobab: And yes, this is thick fabric and will keep that in mind.Thanks for the links! O.k., I'm going to throw in some fabrics intended for the same sofa along with this pattern. The sofa is track arm and 83" wide and 38" deep. If I use 22 inch pillows than companion pillows could be 20 inches. Maybe visualizing it with companion fabrics will help? Again, leaning toward not using it but this fabric helps me create the khaki/navy color palette. Sofa is Neutral Oatmeal small scale herringbone. My chairs flanking the fireplace will be either a khaki brown or I might go navy but leaning toward the brown. Image below is the color not the chairs:
