oh boy, i am sooo not the person to ask. lol... i have so much fabric, that 4 generations down the road would not have to buy fabric..when i started collecting fabric, i could get great quality fab from joanns for 1.00 a yard and wen i was working there i could use my discount.. i would buy fabric by the bolts and if there was a limit i took hubs and kids with, (no kidding) i said i had a lot (understatement).. i could probably clothe the homeless. my kids are forever telling me to get rid of it before i die, they want no part of it.
when i do buy i always think, about the backing, because you will need such a large amount. so i buy 5 or more yards, because i dont know what i will do for the back, my go to pattern is the log cabin and now i have been saving reds for this occasion.
But i also love scrappies, and i am working on one for my dgd in pinks.
