I just don't buy like most of the ladies on here. I don't like to hoard up on material with no project in mind, I do better just buying as I go along. I really can't beleive the pictures of stashes some of the ladies have. That would drive me looney!!!! I occasionaly will buy 1/2 yd of material if I really LOVE it otherwise just prefer to buy for a specific project. Guess i am not normal!!!!!!!
