I am different than everyone else. I like to have LOTS of different fabrics, so if I have no idea what I will ever use it for but I like it anyway, I just buy a 1/2 yard. That way I have money left to buy another 1/2 yard of something else that catches my eye. :D My stash is so big now that I am on a fabric buying moratorium. I need to use up (or share) some of what I have before I buy more.
