I like to pick a pattern and start with what I have in my stash and then if I need to, go shopping for a piece or two to fill in. I don't worry about using the same fabric line for all the pieces in a quilt. I just use what I like.

I am making a quilt pattern that calls for 20 fat quarters. I found a fat quarter stack of 30 FQ's of a pattern I liked and bought if for my pattern. The question I have is this: Is it tackie to use the same fabric pattern but in a different color in a quilt? I am going thru this stage were I can't seem to pick the right fabrics for my patterns. I get the stuff home look at the fabric again and decide I need something different. It's costing me an arm and and leg!

If using the same print in different colorways is tacky, then I'm tacky... Every jellyroll, layer cake and charm square collection has the same prints in several colorways and I don't think they were made to be used in separate projects.
