It all depends on what I've got in my mind . . .sometimes I have a design all graphed out and the colors in mind so I go buy specifically for that - I live in fear of not getting enough material to finish so I always buy extra.
If I don't really have a specific project in mind, I just buy what looks good to me. If it's on a bolt, I always buy at least 1/2 yard. If it's calling my name, a yard . . . and I never leave that leftover bit of fabric on the end of the bolt because usually you can get that at remnant prices even though it's part of the yard you are already getting.
I'm hooked (definitely) on flat quarters!! I do a lot of scrappy and those flat quarters are just dandy for that!
Quick question: has anyone bought any of the "running eighths?" I saw some at Joann's and almost bought a yard, but controlled myself - I already had a cart full of stuff.
Don't know if this helps . . . but it's how I build my stash :lol:
