It has enough drape to use, but we would prefer a little more to give room for movement and turning in bed. Also there is enough length to secure it under the mattress, but we would prefer some length to fold over at the top and pull up to the face while sleeping.

This is a great bed quilt because it goes together really fast and you can give it a great look by using more or fewer fabrics depending on your preference.

I know that there are several ways to do this: pick a 20 piece fat quarter bundle from a collection, pick a theme, focus fabric, or color scheme and go from there. I looked on line for 20 piece bundles. There were a few, but I didn't like the color. Most of the packs were of 5, 6, or 9 pieces, which if I bought several would mean a lot of repeats. Another idea is to buy 5 -1 yard pieces of a collection or scheme, which would give 20 fat quarters, but still a number of repeats. For those who have done this pattern, what do you think of it. how do you pick fabric, what do you think of fewer fabrics, more repeats?

I see she no longer has this colorway but there are some other choices. Also check out the fat quarter bundles, there may be something there you like. And no, I'm not affiliated with this shop. :-D

I don't think 5 colors would be enough for this quilt, you'd end up with really large areas of the same color. If you have a hard time choosing fabrics, I think the best bet would be to buy a collection of 20 fq's from one line. That way you know they will play nicely together.
