The fact that you did DJ in so little time really astounds me. What a feat!
Re fabric acquisition
I colored in my quilt using the software and estimated a 6" square for each block. So for that has been good. I went overboard on ordering my background and will use the excess as backing. My color choice was centered round a Robyn Pandolph line - think spring country cottage.
Kinda sad to see the sewalong winding up. My quilt has been in time out for a few years due to life circumstances. I was thinking about pulling it out again. We could hold hands and get through this. I'm only twenty block in and am handpiecing.
