I don't think you did a bad thing - you got 18 yards of fabric for the price of 9, works for me. I have taken advantage of more than one quilt shop closing and got some fantastic bargains, and I am still working on the stash I created. Besides, I bought the fabrics while I was still working and now, with my husband disabled and both of us on SS, I'm glad I have that fabric in my stash. You are not a fabric failure, just a frugal fabric shopper.
