Welcome to the board. I, too, was a fabric buyer if I needed it or not before my husband died and there was more money, but now I have to be alot more frugal. I spent all afternoon yesterday going through a large bag of pieces of fabric that someone gave me. By the time I culled out all the knits and other fabric that would not be quilt fabric, I didn't have a lot of quilting fabric, but I had fun going through it...lol
