I buy for projects and just because it screams my name as I walk by it. I rarely buy less than 1.5 yards which certainly explains the state of my stash. However, I gift quilting friends with fabric on occasion & let others pick out some fabric from time to time. MY younger DD loves to look through and fondle some of the fabrics. I, however, have a ton of cabbage rose fabric that I'm not certain what I'll do with it. Seems like nobody wants that anymore.
