Sometimes when I buy fabric my only plan is: I plan to use it, just not sure how.

I am like you. I purchase fabric because I love it. I usually do not buy coordinating fabrics until I get a pattern in mind. That is why my stash is so big. I do love to have a pattern and go to purchase the fabric just for it. It makes me feel like I am well on my way. Problem is I do not always come home and get started on the quilt. The supplies often sit in the bag until I have finished already started projects. Though occasionally I just stash other projects and start the new one. That is when I add to my UFO list.

Um, I buy both with and without a plan. My stash is pretty small right now, and I'm trying not to spend too much on non-essentials at present, but in the normal run of things if I love it and I have the finances I'll get it. I figure that as long as I'm not buying fabric for the sake of it, or stuff I don't like (e.g. because it's cheap) then it'll work out in the end.
