So what would you stock up on? A roll of batting? A full bolt of fabric? Would you buy versatile solids (Kona snow or cream, jet black, ash? ) Or would you buy a whole bolt of a fabulous print? Threads?

I'm enjoying the idea, but when it comes right down to committing to a big order, I find myself stalling. Inspire me, please.

bolts of other fabric only if you use a lot of it.
But will always use batting and fabric for backing. Wide backing is about 5-6$ per yd wholesale at some places.
