Default Sensory Overload (read: noob ventures into LQS)

I ventured to a LQS today after being in a strange town for a meeting. Smart phones are great for "take me to the nearest fabric shop!" Ended up in a place called Martin's in Bedford, NH. After about an hour, I was depressed after finding only a couple of FQs and couldn't find more matching colors/patterns to go with these few, as well as feeling all miserable because I feel like I have no business being in there when I haven't got a CLUE what I'm doing. A whopping $13 later (still gagging at current prices of fabric...last time I shopped for fabric, $6.xx was a high-end price, not a sale price!), I'm home with what is likely to be just practice pieces...but that's ok, too. The zigzag would have been border material and accent if I could have found more coordinating 'block' material. Oh well. There will be other trips.
