I love this!! Having the same fabric in multiple quilts is wonderful. I'm so glad you've found a way to do this. I always struggle with 'how much should I buy?'. I worry about either not having enough or having too much and getting tired of it. I tend to make smaller quilts so if I buy a 1/2 yard I do end up using that in multiple projects. At some point, though, I usually end up going on a color spree (and make a monochrome quilt) to clean out a color way that needs refreshing!
