When I travel and hit quilt shops, I buy the fabric that "calls my name". Sometimes, it's just a whisper, and sometimes it screams at me. Those are the pieces that at that particular moment, I have to have. I was telling that to a friend who has a huge stash, and she laughed and asked me "how do you think my stash got so big?" She knew exactly what I meant, and the feeling certain fabrics evoke.
