I think it will depend on the kind of quilts you will make. Have you quilted all along, and are looking forward to being able to do more? Or, are you new at this madness? Initially I bought every shiny object I loved. Fabric seemed to jump into my cart. Then I discovered all the patterns and pretty pictures, and magazines, and just had to have and bought a ton. Then I figured out I can just look and a picture online, or in a magazine, and figure it out on my own. Much of what I bought I still have, and plan on using, but I am more organized now, and have started separating fabrics into marked bins, making up my own kits with the patterns I have collected. I find I gravitate to certain fabrics and styles so I am working on eliminating things I know I won't use. I don't buy a lot of blenders, or backing. I wait until I have a need. Another thing to consider is space and storage of all your fabric. I'm rapidly running out!
