So if one signs up for two sets, that means one should have six different fabrics?

If three sets, nine different fabrics?

It's helpful to "audition" fabrics before buying and/or cutting them. Not all of them work out well when cut into five inch squares - even if the print is cute as can be.

Auditioning can be done with a template made from template plastic. Cut a 5-inch square and mark the 1/4 inch seam allowances with a pen or a pencil. Place this on the intended fabric. Then the part that's showing inside the seam line markings will be what will show in the finished top (if the pieces are left "as is")
