You seem to have purchased an extreme amount of fabric to make 1 bag. If your jelly rolls have the normal 40 strips in them--that is more than 2 yards and you mention a floral and a solid one. Then some kind of fat quarter pack and you seem to have purchased 5 of those. 6 fat quarters is 1.5 yards and if you bought 5 of them, that's another 7.5 yards in addition to the 4.5+ yards from the jelly rolls so you're going to be making bags for a long, long time--LOL.

I had buyer's remorse after I bought my machine. But I got it at 50% off, and every time I see fabric and get an idea for a project or see something that needs mending, I know I made an investment and get over it!

Yes, I have been surprised at check out more times than I want to admit. I also know that a lot of times I can buy gifts cheaper than some of the ones I make for friends/family, however, the home made gifts are made with love while the purchased ones are made by a stranger.

I don't even go into the fabric stores anymore because I have one right here in my house and patterns and ribbon and lots of stuff. So I just stay out of the store. Gas and grocerys are enough at this point,

daydreams about how much she could buy at a thrift store for 96 dollars hehe
I can not say I have done that, have not actually purchased from a quilt store (yet)... thrift or walmart (and walmart is the remnants bin) I is cheap, can't afford anything else.

Yes, when I purchased my machine I was expecting to spend that much, however, I started picking up things to go with it plus fabric (I was in a quilt shop) and when everything was added up I had sticker shock. However I am worth it every once in a while. Don't do that very often. But I also have an enabler, my DH bless his heart
