Hi yall-I am dying to try a OBW quilt, and I would love to use Alexander Henry's Wranglers fabric. The problem is that I can't buy it locally, and I am hesitant to buy the 6-8 yards I think I need when I don't know it if is a good fabric choice. I've watched several videos on how to pick out fabrics (print scale, background space, etc), but I can't audition the fabric with mirrors on the computer monitor very easily. According to some website descriptions, it has a 24" repeat, and the cowboys are about 12" tall. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not this is a good choice? Any advice would be appreciated.
