If you like scrappy??? I'm sure other stashers will be along to give you some pointers.
Me too, just can't afford to buy material without knowing how much of it I need. And then to buy coordinating fabrics or hope you find coordinating later when the line is discontinued, too many variables to me. I always buy most fabrics with pattern in mind. If I see a fabric I like I might use it for small bags or accessories so usually only buy 1-2 yards so I have made myself several kits by taking patterns I plan on making and buying fabric accordingly. less surprises later
