Anyone else in a fabric rut?

Anyone else in a fabric rut?
I fell in love with the 1930's reproduction fabrics a few years ago. I have made several quilts with the fabrics I have. And have a few more planned to make.
I see all the gorgeous new fabrics and love them, but just don't feel the "Oh, I have to have that fabric!!" like I do with the reproduction fabrics. If I see a new repro line or fabric, I have to buy some of it.
I am going to try and start on my DD's cupcake quilt, so maybe that will help. LOL!!

I hear you, Sherri. I'm still in love with 30s and still buying because I know i will eventually use it. I buy a bit of Kaffe Fassett fabric from time to time and am on the hunt for the perfect indigo for a man's project but that's about it. I'm saving my fabric budget for backings I love (hoping this will get me to finish up some projects!!).

I know exactly what you mean! I always tend to be drawn to the same kinds of fabrics (vintage/reproduction types, and muted taupes). I see others that a like, but I just can't imagine actually using them the way I can with my 'favourites'. Mind you, I tend to have the same habit when it comes to clothes - lots of the same thing!
