Does anyone know of a fabric printed in the classic boomerang (Formica company's "Skylark") pattern?
I've done a TC search and found http://www.reprodepot.com/fabfif.html in another thread; they have something close, but no cigar. This is the sort of pattern I'm hoping to find; any color would do as long as the boomerangs are no larger than they are on an actual piece of formica (about 1"):
I saw a tie once that was a dead ringer for the formica pattern, and I've seen it as a drinking glass pattern for a museum gift shop, so I'm hoping fabric exists. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the Satin Moon Quilt Shop has nothing even remotely boomerang-esque. However, I'll have a look online and see if I can find something for you.
*UPDATE* I've e-mailed a request to over 900 shops in North America, with any luck we'll get a response!

Hope you were able to find the fabric you were looking for. I have shopped here before and the service was great. http://www.barkclothhawaii.com/index.htm
You might find some interesting stuff here if looking for retro-fabrics. Click on the fabric link and they do have some very nice reproduction boomerang, atomic & tiki patterns.
