I only buy fabric that I know will not go out of style. Civil war, thirties, black/white red white. I am in three exchanges and have not had to buy a single peice of fabric yet. I am a sucker for kits. I have probably 50 kits or more. But I am only working 5 more days this year and only 4-5 days a month next year. Plan on making a lot of it up into quilts. We'll see.
