I wish I hated to buy fabric--I'm just the opposite! I just love fabric and fabric shopping. It doesn't matter if I have a particular use for what I buy either. It doesn't even have to be beautiful. I can spot something with great texture, or something that is just interesting that I know will find a place in one of my quilts (or dreams of a quilt!). I'm afraid I love designing and drawing and planning my quilts out on graph paper, almost more than I do making and completing the quilts! But it does help to have a great stash. I find that I really don't need to go out and buy when I'm ready to start a project, because I have enough at home to go through and try to make my own fabrics work in my designs. So, I may be a bit fabric-crazy, but, as I tell my DH (when he sometimes just can't help commenting on the amount of fabric vs. finished quilts), he's lucky I'm not hooked on expensive clothes, jewelry, or travel!
