Most of the time when I am doing scrappy , its the light fabrics I run short on. So buy a few more fat 1/4 of some lights...blender type ... as you will aways use them.
Do not worry about the running out of a fabric. thats why there are quilt shops. When making a scrappy and Im really thinking i might be cutting it close on fabric. I do about 1/2 of the blocks and re- evaluate how much is left in the pile. That way if I have to introduce a few new pieces , I can get them into the mix fabrics I am using for the remainder of blocks with out one ot two of the blocks looking too much different in the mix of the others.
