I would wing it and use my lighter scrap fabrics but I'm worried about the quilt being too print overwhelming. I have no solids prepared and was considering a more colorful but lighter solid as the background. Since it's planned to be a throw size I'm thinking maybe 5 yards could be enough. Reading the links and running through the math, it seems 5 yards could work. I dunnos tho!
