I think about this too. How high can fabric go? I am using my stash right now as I am still looking for a job. It kills me not to be able to buy any fabric right now, but really, I have enough to last for awhile and my friends and I "shop" each other's stash all the time. When I start working again, I don't think I will buy fabric with abandon like I used to. That's just the new reality I guess.
