    Have you found your favorite or most beautiful fabric yet? How mush did you buy or was it just a FQ? I mean you just have to have it no matter what? Me I have to say no that is why I still look and buy. I have not got to the fabric that I absolutely love.

    My problem is that I love too many fabrics. I usually purchase anywhere from 1 - 8yards. Not easy being stashy!! :lol: :lol:

    Oh yes!!! Many times!!! A fat quarter is just not enough. I buy a minimum of three yards but especialy batiks.........they get prettier the more that is unwrapped from the bolt so I end up with 4 to 6 yards, sometmes more. I have lots of pieces that are "my favorite."

    yes I have, I love batiks and would buy nothing but batiks if I could. I do not like the ones with designs, butterflies, leaves etc, I like the mottled no thats not true, I love the mottled. As for what I buy, usually all I can afford. But I never find enough of the ones I like, thank goodness so no danger there. lol

    BATIKS, BATIKS BATIKS

    I have some that I can't cut, but an absolute favorite? Not yet. If I found it I would by the whole bolt!

    Sewcrafty, I think I am going to adopt that as my motto "not easy being stashy". So cute and so true!
