It is not so much fun, just work. The exchange rate has made fabric that was already really expensive, almost out of reach. It is hard to find fabric stores too. Used to be you could find used kimonos but they have figured it out now and they are expensive too. i kick myself a few years back a friend bought half dozen used wool kimonos for $10 each. Can't find deals like that now. They have figured they can cut them up and sell little bags of fabric to quilters.
