Pat G, I used to be like you, and couldn't understand why one would buy fabric without a project in mind. Within the last year, I too have started to buy fabric for unknown projects. I guess I can now say that I'm an addict. I see some that I love and if I wait it might be gone, so gotta have it. Bought some at a quilt show because it was $3.00 a half yard. Good buy couldn't pass it up. Ordered some fabric on line and if you bought $100 you got free shipping, so added some fabrics to get the free shipping. Now I have a stash. That's where it all began. :-)
