A while ago I bought a half yard of a fabric I really liked. After I got it home I realized I was in love with it. It took me a while to figure out what kind of project to use it in, but then I went back to my LQS to get more. Guess what? It was all gone! So then I started looking for it on-line. By the time I found it I could only get another yard which cost more, plus S&H. etc, etc. Turns out that I had to change my plans for it because I never could find enough to do what I wanted to do with it. Anyhow, the moral of this story is, if you like it a lot, buy a lot. At least 3 yards. That would have given me sufficient fabric to complete the whole project and have a fat quarter tucked away for more fun with it. Don't take a chance that you won't ever find that fabric again. And, if you're not crazy about a fabric, just don't buy any of it. 8-)
