When I buy fabric, I buy yardage. I usually don't buy fat quarters or any pre-cut fabric, unless it is a good deal. Lately, since I am trying to use up stash, I only buy fabric at the resale shop when I can get it at a good price. Just yesterday I bought a small bag of scraps from the thrift store, paid $1 for the bag, but got quite a bit or red fabric which I'll use for scrappy quilts. I really need scraps of white, so if I can find that, I'll buy it.
