When I find a fabric I really like I try to buy enough to use in several projects. I really hate to have a fabric I love only to find that it is no longer available and then not have enough to do another project using it. So much of my stash is yardage that has been used in one or more projects already but hopefully there is enough for the next one I want to use it for. Just finished a quilt that I had to buy more of one of the fabrics twice. Third time I got 2 yards (only needed a few inches) so I would be sure to have some to keep.
