i recently made a quilt using 2 fat quarter bundles and i am unlikely to do so again.

it was my fault really - for not checking the fabric line before i bought them. but when i got them home and opened them up, they had a LOT more pink in the prints than the stack suggested. i mean a LOT.

it would have been great to have the variety of prints for a scrappy quilt, but a fat quarter of the fabric you like the best just isn't very much.

i much prefer to coordinate and choose off the bolt. lesson learned!

here it is. you can't see what i am talking about really, but the white, greens and yellows were all purchased separately, as was that blue bubble fabric which really doesn't work as well as i had hoped. and because the person i am making this for doesn't like pink, i had to think of ways to minimize it every turn.

(this thread is not about me and i am sorry for highjacking it, but is a cautionary tale!)
