Here in the Twin Cities we have the unbelievable temptation of SRHarris, which is a fabric warehouse that sells everything at 50% discount. Within the past couple of months, they've increased their stock of designer quilting cottons by at least a thousand bolts and I'm there every week, since a new semi-load comes in weekly. It's a cut-your-own place, so I buy quarter-yards up to 4 yards at a time. The larger pieces will be used for backings, the 1yd pieces will be mostly used for bindings, and the smaller cuts used for focal squares or charms. In the past month I've spent over $100 on my stash, and that's after the half off.
