I did pretty good! I did find what I think is the right fabric for the project and got the 3 yards I was going to get. There was another fabric that in many ways I liked better, at least it really made the fabrics pop but I had some concerns over how good a 3D it would have. There wasn't enough on the bolt for me, under 2 yards and I needed 3. I did buy it because it went super-great with the fabric I originally bought for my medium-dark but decided was too dark.
So I mean really, for an hour trip each way, one extra piece wasn't bad. All sorts of temptation however! One thing the shop owner does really well is sell precut kit bundles in different sizes, so typically like 5 yards total. But she has a great eye for putting things together and making them look delicious.
