I'd check ebay if I were you - if you know who made the piece you like, do an ebay search listing it by the designer - I found an out-of-print piece to finish a started quilt (didn't buy enough the first time in the LQS) reasonably priced. Google search may also turn up the fabric you want.
I do agree, designers are always coming out with new to intice buyers, so I also buy it when I see it if its something I really like.
