I find I am usually ok if I stick to the rule of never ordering less than 1 yard of anything and if I like it order 2, if I really like it order 3 and if I love it order 4 yards. Backgrounds and blenders or solids I use a lot of 5 to 10 yards.

quilting jem, I don't have any advice for you, just wanted to say how pretty your fabrics are. Good luck with picking out a pattern. My next one is this one:
