Question: Should I choose a palette for the whole project now and purchase enough fabric to complete it?
It all depends on what you like if you like a coordinated look then go out and purchase enough fabrics to make 12 blocks. If you like scrappy then use up your stash ;-). I went and purchased fabrics all from the same line. I also bought fabric for the backing I purchased 5 yds for that just in case. I purchased 3 fabrics for the roofs 1/2 yard each. I purchased 1 fabric for the sky - 1 1/2 yrds. Then I have 3 or 4 other fabrics for the houses themselves I think I purchased 1 yard each.
