    BUY IT NOW! I thought about it for far too long once and went back and it was gone. I had to search the internet for the fabric and then only found bits and pieces.

    My recommendation is, if you see something you love buy it now.

    I have learned when I see it and like it get it. Sometimes you wait and go back and it is gone and find out there will be no more.

    I'm in the buy at least a yard of it, and if you have something in mind buy more. It seems if I don't use it in a project right away it finds it's way into a different project anyway!

    It's a crap shoot. My friends own a quilt pattern design company (ToadUSew) and have been burned a couple of times by the company whose fabric they used for kits deciding to quit a line while they still had more customers buying the kit so they had to substitute.

    I am in the process of finally finishing up a larger than king size Twirling Patchwork quilt for my daughter, 100 blocks, didn't have enough fabric so I had to add different ones in some of the blocks. Looks okay but I really thought I had enough of the one fabric I needed. Always buy when you see what you like and buy more than you need....take it from experience!

    This is one time to ignore your DH's opinion. LOL I buy fabric I like when I see it and usually buy more fabric when I have a project in mind.

    Yes, the question is how long will it be before they run out? If it was me, I would buy asap, especially if I really like it.

    you will regret it if you don't get it now. You will use it for something at some point, and if not, you will be able to admire it as part of your stash. My stash is full of fabric I fell in love with and don't have any particular plans for, but I know I will use it sometime. If you wait to long, it will be gone.
