I am really enjoying all of your stories. Many hit home with me. My biggest regret is my purchasing habit. I too have mostly just bought fabrics on sale. However, the downside of that is only buying the ones I really liked which resulted in buying one or two fabrics from a line, as a limited number were available. So now I struggle with trying to coordinate my fabric, and despite my very large stash, sometimes I have a problem pulling it all together. I'm not as big a fan of scrappy, although I still think some scrappy quilts are pretty.
Also the available yardage on sale has really dried up in the past two years, making purchasing individual yardage at a more reasonable cost is becoming more difficult. I do very much agree with the sentiment about this hobby bringing you joy. Besides sewing, a fun time for me is sitting down and just looking at my fabric, and visualizing what I will make with it. I have made so many quilts in my head.
