I don't think I've ever purposely bought fabrics from the same line for a quilt. I usually find a focus fabric (as others have stated) and go from there. When shopping online, I look through the clearance or sale fabrics first. If I see something I like that is "regular" priced, I usually bargain hunt to see if I can find it elsewhere online for less money. I rarely go to the LQS (about 40-45 minutes away) because her prices are way too high, even when there is a sale, it's usually fabric I don't like. And, I have to agree with dunster about the neutrals and lights selling out first.
