Yes, it was very hard. It is gorgeous fabric that I got from eQuilters.
As opposed to the One Block Wonders, this take 12 repeats so it takes a lot of fabric. I always fussy cut to get the best images so that takes more fabric. I usually buy 6 yds. of fabric so I can be sure to have enough for the border.
I can't remember the name of the dark purple fabric but I ran out after deciding to use it in the border. I went back to my LQS & they were out. They reordered it 3 times & it didn't come in so I had to be creative. I ck'd Ebay. I found some in FQs but that wouldn't work. I wrote the seller to see if he had yardage. He did so that solved that prob. I was going crazy wondering what the heck I was going to do if I couldn't find enough to finish the border.
