If the price is right, like on sale, then I get 2-5 yards. And if it looks like it's at the end of the bolt I get that too.

in today's market, I touch it, feel it make note of the maker/line name and then search the internet..if I can not find it for around $5-$7 then I go to my stash and try to find like it....thankfully I have a very large stash!

I'm in the 2-3 yard group. If I can afford 3 or 4 that's what I get. BUT if its on sale... And I REALLY likeit.. Look out. Lol

I only buy for the project I am doing and will add some extra yardage ( 1 yd or less) of the fabrics I really like. Its just too expensive now the buy just because I like it and may use it.

Just today I bought the rest on the bolt, 5 1/2 yards of high quality beautiful fabric for $4.a yard on sale. This way I have enough to be a backing if that's what I want to do.

If I really like it and can afford it, I usually buy several yards. Looking at my stash, I shouldn't be buying any, but I have a hard time just walking by!!

If it's a blender (and I can afford/justify it) then I buy a couple yards at least. :)

I'm like Bonnie trying to make the quilts I have all ready bought fabric for and only buying what I need.

Will I still be saying this when I go to Amarillo in a couple of weeks? LOL
