I read her intro. That is going to be a fun quilt. If you want it to look like hers, you need all her parts. If you want to make it your own, then no you don't. I have a large stash but it is mostly bigger prints and I don't have any of those fun background fabrics. If I were going to join in, I would have to buy a kit. Plus you need the templates. Have fun, whatever you decide to do.
