Yep, every time I walk into a fabric store. If you have Microsoft, use the "paint" tab and resize your pics to 30 and save as a jpeg file.

I bought 2 half yard cuts of princess fabric (intended for a project)
one yard cuts of 6 different fabrics
one 2 yard cut of a flannel (intended for same project as above)
and a 3 1/2 yard cut of plain black fabric.

My husband was like "what are you going to do with all that?" I had no answer.

Thanks for the tip on resizing pics! I forgot to mention that I also bought 8 fat quarters!
These are all intended for a quilt for my daughter. [ATTACH=CONFIG]366129[/ATTACH]

These were all Just Because

Like Lynnie, about 99% of my fabric is "just because"...I rarely buy specific fabric for a specific thing...
