Great looking pattern - why not use some of those scraps that all quilters have stashed in their sewing spaces.. I think the pattern would lend itself very well to scraps. Then if you truly love the outcome - go for the "good" fabric.

[quote=DeniseB]I am no help, I am weak. I just ordered 24 fat quarters of Amy Butler Daisy Chain (had a heck of a time finding it) to make a Turning Twenty quilt. Once again my inspiration was TwistedStitcher. This is the second quilt I have made like hers. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-19936-1.htm

WOW - I'm in love with Daisy Chain in the blues and greens. I caught a clearance sale on a bolt of one of my favs in pink & orange (a combo I've never before been possessed to own), but now I may have to hunt down some blues and greens, too. That Turning Twenty quilt TwistedSticher did is lovely!!
I wish I had something helpful to say about overcoming the impulse to buy the Love fabric, but I found myself hunting down and paying a mint for some of the Belle duck egg blue wallpaper fabric. (Yay for Amy Butler!) I had the same should I / shouldn't I war with myself, and actually had dreams about the stuff. After a couple of weeks, I realized I'd really be sad if it were all gone and I really couldn't find any more. So I'm the proud owner of 5 yards... and I'm gonna love snuggling up under it as often as possible. I'm actually gonna keep this one for myself!! :)

1. Can you afford to pay cash for them?
2. Will you be really sorry later if you cannot find them?
3. Have you got an idea as to how you want to use them or a plan for them?
4. If money is no issue, then get to ordering. LOL And enjoy.

I think my husband is going to hate you. That is the most beautiful quilt and material. I don't need the last five but all the rest is to die for. How much are they charging for a yard of that material???
Do you really want to be talked out of that? I want it all.
