I buy fabric because I like the colors, when I go to use them, it's back to shopping for other fabric to match it

Absolutely, I buy fabric with no specific project in mind. Usually one yard cuts or 3 yard cuts if I think I would use fabric as borders. 6 yards for backing.

GrannieAnnie, I thought I was the only one who has fabric pets! I love rearranging, petting and looking at my stash...My family has started to give me weird looks when I am in my sewing room looking lovingly at my fabric

If I do not buy it when I see it; it won't be there when I know I want it. I love dreaming of what I can do with it when I get a chance to work on something for me. (I buy fabric when I am on Vacation and then that project becomes my keepsake for that trip.)

I have a very small fabric stash because I was only buying fabrics for special projects. Right now my stash only fits on 1 book case shelf. I have now decided to buy fabric-"just because". I want to be able to "Shop" in my stash when I am broke. lolololo....

Have a blessed day.

I do. That's why I only go to Jo Ann's if I need something specific while I'm in my fabric moratorium! I don't have room for more fabric, and I'm forcing myself to make quilts from my stash.
