I buy a minimum of 2 yards but most of the time, I buy 3 yards. I buy 4 to 6 yards if it's a batik. They are my weakness.

Same here. If I really love it and it can be used as a blender, I definitely buy the whole bolt.

Exactly!!!!

and at least 1 yrd and more. as much as your credit card can handle as this is a special treat! then, the projects will come!

Tell the sale persons exactly what you are asking us and you'll be surprised how they will advise you, I found that they are (from what I saw) very helpful and they are used to helping people with what their needs and preferences are.

Treat yourself!!!

that's about what I did in April and I don't regret it http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-129246-1.htm
