I did quite well last year. 2011 was a BIG year for fabric buying. I discovered online discount sites with quilt shop fabric.
We are moving in a couple of days to Phoenix and I had to pack up my entire sewing room. I have a nice sized stash but not a ridiculous one. I make a great number of Quilts Of Valor so will buy blue or red when it is a good price--not online. And never more than 1 yard as I like scrappy. Often one yard is the minimum for sale fabric.
I did unsub myself to lots of fabric sites and that really helped. When I saw those great prices I was sorely tempted. It is like having candy in the house. If I see it I might eat it. I try very hard to support my local shop but only sale fabric.
