I would consider putting aside money now for quilting as your tastes may change over time. You may also inherit some great fabric and then you would either need some supplies to finish a quilt or to pay for longarming services. You may also find that once you make something for everyone that you find a niche in charity quilting whether it is for kids, veterans, or other charitable ventures. Then that will drive your fabric purchases, too. For instance, I have done a few throws for homeless veterans who have been part of a program to get them into housing. They need everything in their apartment so a nice throw size quilt is welcomed. For the most part they are men -so homespuns, red/white/blue and plaids have been hits. I am a Bonnie Hunter follower and can debone an "upcycled" shirt pretty fast. Sounds like you may not need more fabric right now... at least not this week! lol...
