I totally agree on the black matching super hard to do. I like 2 or 3 yrd of black. Red well heck all the colors you can come close but its like buying yarn you buy it all from the same dye lot or when you stitch it together it shows. I can ALWAYS find a good use for a fat quarter and give me a matching set, oh dear that would be wonderful. I would say most of my fabric is f8 or f4 as its all I can get at any given time or what is gifted tome. I do not complain I love fabric (swoon?)
