I have found that if I get so much fabric, with time I don't care for it like I imagined I would when I bought it! I satisfy myself with a couple fat quarters and get out! It's so fun to be ready to start a new project and go out and purchase just what I need-that way I know I'm going to use it. I don't like to have several projects stacked up to do. I'd much rather choose a NEW project when one is finished. I lived with frugal parents and a husband who is gracious, but I know my bounds!
