I figured that out from making quilts from my own stash. I'd pull a focus, background and go withs and only have enough of one of the fabrics for a twin size. Or only have enough of the focus for the borders and not enough to add to the blocks, etc.
I have a focus fabric right now that I know I'm only going to have enough of for a fairly small quilt. The sad thing is it is *the* perfect fabric for the bed in the guest room. So now I'm going to have to punt and figure something out to still use that fabric.
