Up until a few months back, before we ran into some problems with money, I would definatly buy bundles, but only If I had something in mind to do with them, and the colors and style was good...I tried never to buy more fabric then I would reasonable use, Just because I've never really felt comfortable spending money on myself...which is why I've given away most of my quilts lol. I use to go every 3 weeks to my fabric store, and get myself what I called a goodie bag...I would have a few random pieces, a bundle and a couple FQ's, and a few 1/2 yrd pieces of "favorite" styles or colors that I knew I just had to have. I find a lot of times, in my area atleast, you can save money buying a bundle..but sometimes it is a risk, because there is always some I don't care for...which I always tend to give away to those who could use them.
