Default Help find a fabric

Yup, once again I'm desperately trying to identify a fabric so I can buy
more for a challenge. g Here's the link to see it:
http://www.SteigerFamily.com/images/tiedye.JPG The closest I've been
able to find is Hoffman Rainbow Hand-dye - Brights, but that is just a
little brighter than the fabric I have. Neither the challenge organizer
nor the owner of the local quilt store (who ordered the fabric) can
remember what company made it; the quilt store owner thinks it *wasn't*
a major name (like Hoffman) and that she ordered it through a New York
importer. She even went through several months' worth of invoices
trying to identify it for me.

Anyway, if anyone can point me towards a likely possibility, I'd sure
appreciate it! I've spent most of today looking at online quilt fabric
pages. I know I could probably fake it with a similar fabric, but I'd
really rather use the original if at all possible.

I was going to suggest it might be from Island Batik
(http://www.islandbatik.com/) but they come in through California.

Maybe http://www.princessmirah.com/ ?

Thanks, I couldn't remember the address -- "missingfabrics.com" was too
simple to remember. g I've posted what I know there, which isn't much!

It sure does look like a Princess Mirah fabric, doesn't it? Not one of
those currently listed on their website, but I Emailed the scan to ask
if it's an old fabric. Thanks for the suggestion!
