Too funny. I collect too. I was with a group of my quilting buddies and there was a woman down sizing her fabric, I'm talking quality quality stuff for a dollar a yard. Buy the time we left, and this was her second day, she had $250 more dollars in her pocket. And I had 50 yards of fabric, washed and ironed in my stash.
I was a fat quarter person still am for scrappy things and novelity prints, but I've started to buy yardage, at least 2 because if I'm making a quilt with a pattern you usually need more than a yard.
I'm taking a Bonnie Hunter class next month hope to make room for more!
Sometimes you choose the fabric sometimes the fabric chooses you!
