I would not wait and expect to see it restocked unless it is a basic pattern and style. Did you ask the people at the store if they will get it again?

Good luck with the fabric but however you finish it, such a gorgeous quilt, Dina. Ribbon-worthy.

You might see if one of the salespeople would go outside with you and the bolt. Fabric is never the same color inside the store as in natural lighting and it's impossible to match colors. Florescent lighting is horrid, harsh and glaring besides being hard on your eyes that it now permeates homes with the 'expensive' lightbulbs forced on us now. I take a piece of what I'm going to match and ask someone to come outside with me. Even side by side in the store, I doubt solid purples would match.

This is true, though I am fairly sure none of the sales clerks in my store would agree to do that. None sew, much less quilt, and none seem too user friendly. Plus they are always understaffed.

However, you are right about the light, and I have decided to buy the best purple I can, and if I don't use it for this, I will use it for something else. I always have a use for purple.
