I'm not a typical customer, so I doubt my opinion will have any influence on your stocking plan, but I'll toss it out there anyway. I don't buy focus fabrics. I treat fabric in a quilt as a painter treats paint. For me, color is critical, the print is not important other than that there is a variety of them in the work I make.

I seldom buy anything other than tone-on-tones, blenders, solids, hand-dyes, or batiks, and even those are TOT batiks. I prefer to buy in person because color varies so much between dye lots and no colors are true except in person. I will pay just as much for blenders as I pay for any other cottons at a quality shop, $10 to $12 a yard, I will drive for hours to get them, and I buy a lot.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :lol:
