Altairss that is a great find and love to see the fabric.
Well I went to a quilt show this weekend. Sat I did great - nothing came home with me but Sun was a whole different thing. 13 yards and only 1 yard was I looking for. I enjoyed Altairss photos so much I thought you might like to see my fall. Can you tell I rarely have seen a batik or blender I didn't like?

She requested a quilt and I requested she shop for the fabric (though I sent money). Best idea ever! She's finding it's not always easy to find fabric that's just right. The pattern is a bargello so 20 fabrics are needed. Will try to get a day soon to meet her so she can see my finds and perhaps go fabric shopping with her to finish up the picks if she wants.
She seemed to be stressing the choices to begin with and I told her just relax and have fun. Her choices might change as she goes along and that's okay as long as they go light to dark. Much better for her to pick than me and her telling me she doesn't like it. Prior lesson learned.
After this one I don't think I'll let people do the choosing. Colorway only (maybe!) and you get what you get as quilting is my interpretation. They can start to quilt to have their own.
