I bought some black and cream butterflies from Hobby Lobby about two yrs back not knowing what I would do with it. Turns out the fabric is created exclusively for them, and when my daughter was helping me pick out her backing for a king quilt, I went back and bought five more yds. I dont think even that is going to be enough.
Proplem: The cream color in the newer batch is not the same as the older fabric. I had to tea dye it yesterday. Not a problem since I am doing a "quilt as you go" and am cutting the fabric into blocks. Said all that to say this: try to get your fabric all at one time. The dye lots will be different.
