Help...I am Confused

Here is my 10 pound yard of fabric....the fabric purchased in celebration of 10 pounds of fat coming off my body. Not a great pic, but it is a Robert Kaufman print. The background is a dark brown with green and cream flowers. Very mid 1800's. It is the first of 7, hopefully! I have a dilemma though. While chatting with Linda, I talked out what my plan was regarding these yards and the future quilt they will create. She confused me more....sorry Linda. First thing she did was tell me I should buy a yard for every 5 pound loss...leave it to Linda to get more fabric in there. LOL I decided I could not do that as that would be 14 yards of fabric. I could do 1/2 yards for every 5 pounds to increase the fabric selections, but I think 10 pounds is a milestone that deserves it's own recognition. So back to where I started. Here is where I get confused...it is not a far jump...what do I do with this??? I could make a block with this fabric (or more than one...maybe 10...1 for each pound) they could be small or 1 larger one. I will need 1 background fabric for everything. Ok, so the next 10 pounds gets another yard of whatever jumps off the bolt at me screaming "I'm gorgeous!! Buy me NOW". Then I make blocks out of that fabric and the same background. OR...I buy a yard every 10 pounds, save it all and put in all in a quilt with one over all design. I can buy whatever I love at that moment and not care about matching it up, or buy fabrics that all go together to create a quilt that looks like it was "meant to be".....WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? Any other suggestions will be appreciated. Try not to talk me into more that 1 yard per 10 pounds...I know for you quilters that will be difficult! I just want the fabrics to mean something.

Also, does anyone know where to get good "shirting" fabrics online? Linda and I are both looking for them. They are cream colored backgrounds with small scale designs used for background fabrics. Not cream on cream. They have a definite civil war era look to them. Marcus Brothers has a line called "19th Century Backgrounds II". You can click on the link to see them all, but here is one of them to give you an idea of what I am looking for. I can get these at my LQS, but if they can be bought online for less....well you know.

Here is a peek at another fabric I bought. It is a Thimbleberries...not for my weight loss journey quilt. I will reveal the purpose later. This is just a little portion of the fabric. I appreciate your help with these things that confuse me. Here is something else that confused me this morning. My Zachary dressed himself. It is in the teens (Fahrenheit) here.
