This is so refreshing to see that I am not alone. I just love to go fabric shopping even when I don't have a project in mind. I figure that one day I want to retire and may not be able to afford lots of fabric buying, so while I'm still working I can load up. The question is what size cut do you buy if you like the fabric but don't have a pattern in mind? A yard? 1/2 yard? Fat quarter? I guess if you really, really like it you should buy 2 yards?
