I use to buy if I liked it usually about 3 yards as I figure I could always find a pattern to use it in. Now with over 20 totes full of material I decided I better start to use before I go to the great beyond. I have put some in the garage sale and people are happy to pay the price which is about 1/2 of what I paid for. I have 3 quilts in the works right now and have plans for 4 more that I have material that will work
