I don't particularly like to buy a line of fabrics, although I have bought some of specific line and mixed and matched the rest. I mainly like to build my own with the idea of the design and person I'm making the quilt for. Somethings that I've done in the past is go to the LQS and if I can't afford something they have I search on-line and usually get a better deal. In this day and age, $$s matter.
