This is what I love about this board--SO many different approaches, and not one attitude about "you should do it my way because of [reason]." Just honest, friendly sharing and discussion, and everyone has perfectly good reasons for why they do or do not do something.
I did take advantage of the big Independence Day sale at Joann this morning, but all I got was a big rotary mat and the fixings for 2 lap quilts--one for my living room, and one to try my hand at selling. This should be enough to keep me busy for months to come, and they're ready when I am. :)
