Do you buy fabric "just because"

My husband is unemployed right now...so I have to limit my spending on fabric. I got to enjoy this "spree" because I sold some of my daughter's too small clothes at a local consignment sale. I could be very dangerous in a LQS...which is why I stick to Joanns.

In July my LQS closed (both wonderful owners have degenerative dieases!) With the final prices 40% off, YES I bought a lot of fabric "just because". In fact, most of the fabric I buy is for that reason. If you like it, it won't be there next time. I have a large stash. I can start a quilt at a moment's notice from what's on hand, which is very good because my closest fabric store is a 150 mile round trip.

It has been my experience that if you really, really like something, get it because you will always like it. Then inspiration will strike when you least expect it and you have the stuff to go after it.
