I was just viewing Connecting Theads' website and saw some really nice coordinated fabrics I would like for the future. It is on sale for $2.96 a yard (great deal, eh?), but I don't have anything in particular in mind for it right now. How much fabric do you buy if you are just building up your stash or just because you like it? I was thinking about a half yard of each, but maybe a fq would be enough. It's hard to know when I have no specific use for it right now.
There are about 6 different prints that I think coordinate nicely. Also, should I buy a larger piece to have for a backing for whatever I decide to make? Again, I don't know what I would do with it, but the price is right and I like it. Is that a good enough reason to buy it?
