I know I could probably buy stuff as I go along, but worry about not being able to get the same design/ colour if I didn't buy it all at once.

I think I might have to be a bit creative and a) not use fat quarters, but maybe see what I can find in terms of charity shop (thrift store) finds...
There is nothing wrong with using what you have. Old clothes, thrift store finds of fabric. Or you could look online for low cost fabrics and just buy the minimum allowed if it covers what you need. Some ship free. Nothing wrong with lovely scrappy quilt. Every thing matches that way. Enjoy!
