"She who dies with the most fabric, WINS". Well I'm not dead yet but, "I WIN!" I rarely buy anything less then 3 yards. I buy at least 7 yards if I think I want to use it for a backing and if I really like it I buy the whole bolt no matter the price. I almost never have a project in mind when I fabric shop. I just see something I like and then I pull something together from there to make a project or I just buy a particular fabric because I just have to have it. I now have more fabric in my stash then a couple of my LQS, lol They love to see me coming through the door!
