I might raise that to 4 yd/meter of main color and at least a yard of coordinating
ON THE OTHER HAND-----------I might concentrate on the main print I wanted and buy the matching fabrics locally.
If you use fat quarters, jelly rolls and such, find a few bundles that seem to go together well. Wait to finish up later.
