I tend to rate it 3 ways
1. like 1 yard
2. love 3 yards
3. can't live without! Purchase the bolt.
It is the way I fly. I say this because one time I saw this fabric with little red roosters, basically black, red, greys and white. You couldn't see the real pattern was roosters and it worked.
I purchased a yard, mistake one. It was gone in a week or so.
I went back and purchase the rest that they had 9 yards. I have hoarded that fabric, trying to use it in important quilts, because the rooster has some meaning to me, the fact it doesn't look like a chicken is perfect.
This goes with any orange quilt fabric that grabs me, I just did 8 yards the other day of that, can't wait to stick that in those special quilts.
Enjoy!
