I would buy it if I like it a lot. Chances are if you like it, a lot of other people will like it too. I wouldn't take a chance. If I really love it I buy 3 or 4 yards of it. That way I have enough for borders as well as blocks. If I just really like it, I buy a couple of yards. If I just like it and are afraid that it might be gone, I buy a yard. Does that make sense? I originally bought 6 yards (I bought all the store had) for my F8s for the latest boomerang block swap. Used most of it for the F8s and and ordered 5 more yards online so I wouldn't run when it came time to make my quilt.
