Many times, I see a fabric that I think I can't live without. So I buy it, maybe a companion and then decide what I want to do with it.[/QUOTE]
This is what I do, too. If I see a fabric I love, I buy it and then figure out what to do with it. And this is where my angst begins, because I think "what to do with it" has to be perfect in order to fulfill the promise of the fabric. I spend way too much time worrying if I've decided on the right pattern!
