That's what I generally do also. But, it's got to be a really great fabric or great deal for me to spend enough to buy 3 yards, cuz I tend to stick to name brand quilt fabrics, Moda, Debbie Mumm, etc., and love to have several different fabrics from the same line. Do the same with batiks - fat quarters or 1/2 yards, unless I'm planning a sashing, border or backing.
