When I first started quilting, I would buy a quarter yard of the fabrics that I liked. Rarely would I get a full yard. Well, here I am many years later with lots of variety, but not much of any one thing. Well at least until 2009. That is when I told myself that it would be at least 2 yards or not at all. Sometimes I even get 3 yards. I still do a lot of scrappy quilts, but at least have the ability to do something more controlled if I wish.
