Now I buy fabric (mostly Moda) when I have a specific project in mind.
how funny, that's the same as me. i cleaned out my stash over the holidays and came across fabric i really dislike now. my taste has definitely changed from 13 yrs ago. i love michael miller, robert kaufman fabrics, riley blake and moda. i'd love to send the unwanted fabric to someone who would use it, but i'm almost to embarrassed to take pics.
