I'm a touchy, feely person. I usually am attracted by color first, the texture of the fabric and then the price. I rarely buy on impulse; I have learned they usually just stay in my stash. I try to buy for each quilt I am making, but if it calls for 32 fat quarters, you can bet that I will end up buying at least 40 before I get the combination that I like. That is why I have Fabric Galore.
