Otherwise we will send you Emily Belle Powder Rose fabric (pictured first), Emily Belle Candy Floss (pictured second), or as similar to that as is in stock at the time.

You will receive either one piece sized 160″ x 44″ (406cm x 111cm) OR two pieces sized 80″x 44″ (203cm x 111cm) each.
Either will work for the backing fabric as described below.
