Or would you buy several different "1/2 yd. pieces"? If you were starting the 2012 BOM from scratch, would you just go pick out and buy like 10 different FQ's and would that give you enough to make the quilt??? I bought 4 different purples but I think I may have over-bought. (I got 1 yd. each) I will have to buy several other fabrics to go with those 4.

working with a 35-print bundle, but
I’ll probably have a few unused fat
quarters at the end, of prints I chose
not to incorporate. You may not need
35 exactly; it really depends on which
fabrics you choose for which blocks, as
it’s a very scrappy quilt. I’m not sure I’d
go out and purchase 35 individual FQs,
but if you’re buying a bundle, a 36-print
one will be perfect."
