I seldom by less than 6 yards when purchasing a basic that I know I will be using. Earlier this fall I had a 60% off coupon from JoAnn's and bought a whole bolt of unbleached muslin because I use it so often. I got the 90 wide because I haven't made any quilts wider than that, yet. Good savings and nice to not have to run out for small cuts. It was the end of my shopping for fabric for a while, but it is stash buster time for me.
