I love fabric shopping--but what I usually do is buy what I need for a project I have in mind. I always buy more than the pattern calls for just in case.... When I made my Cinco de Mayo quilt I bought tubs of fat quarters. Mostly bright geometric fabrics in many colors. Sometimes I did buy half yards. Now that the quilt is finished I have many scraps. so one of my next projects will be using my leftovers for a Coin quilt for my son. I notice many of you buy several yards of fabrics just because you like them--I have never gotten in the habit of doing that. There have also been times I get fabrics for a certain project, but decide later to use it for a completely different project. I purchased a large, bright, red, gold, purple floral print, made a purse. I felt so bad that I used that fabric and when I ran across it later I purchased a full yard--which I have never used. I am tempted to have a piece of it framed, so I will always have it. Do any of you do crazy things like that??
