Have you ever walked thru the fabric area and suddenly stopped because you spied a fabric that shouted at you? Didn't know where you'd use it or what patterns to try but you just HAD to have it. Oh, what fun.

Yes, me too. I have found that fabric I just have to have, but I do the fat quarter thing too. I am just a fabric addict. :D

For me it was a set of six "silk" fat quarters. The colors are gem tones, and they feel fantastic. I bought them with the intent to make a crazy quilt wall hanging. But two years later I still don't have the heart to cut them up. On bad/sad days I take them out of their protective tissue paper and admire them and dream of a beautiful wall hanging, someday maybe when I retire I will work with them, but now I just admire my beautiful gems.

My favorite fabric is NOT a main or focal fabric but a black batik. The batik is black with subtle tones of either red or dark blue.
These will blend with any color.

I buy between 1 and 2 yrds.

I also found a fabric that I just could not cut. It's a fall scene
with a farm and a farmhouse and barns and pumpkins and it is
just beautiful. I didn't cut it. I put batting in it and a backing
(actually, of the same fabric), and sewed a diagonal grid on it
in two directions, put a bias tape on it, and I now have a lovely
fall decorating quilt. I could not cut the fabric. It would have
broken my heart to do that.

Several times I have found a "favorite" and it has inspired a specific pattern or search for a pattern for a specific person.
I do have one that is for me that I just don't want to cut. I am going to use it as a back to avoid most of the pain...now if I could just find a pattern for the front...hummm

I just bought some Moda fabrics called Me & My Sister- they are so cute!! I'm going to make pillows for me and MY sister :D I love the whimsical fabrics Moda has been putting out.
So much fun to work with. My pillows from last year went back with my son who thought they were awesome. I never dreamed he'd like the funky fabrics but he loved them. My other boys did too. One said "Gee Mom you could probably get $100 for each one. That's what I love about boy kids. They say the cutest things :) Anyway my son forced me to buy new fabric to make new ones to replace them :D

A couple of years ago we went to Hawaii for our 50th wedding anniversary. I purchased three fabrics to use in a quilt. It is still sitting in my cabinet because I just don't know what kind of pattern to choose to show off the prints. And yes, I still love it! I have trouble getting my pictures out of the Corel program and onto this site or I'd attach a photo now.
