I usually buy 2-3 yds., but will buy more if I really love it and I have the money. I do have a lot of 1yd. pieces and remnants because I like to do scrappy quilts. Buy what you want and CAN AFFORD at the time.

Just how many yards do you buy if you see a fabric you like, that is a great deal, but don't have a spacific quilt pattern in mind?
Does this make sense to anyone but me?

When I started quilting (not that long ago, I might add), I usually bought a yard of fabric.
The longer I quilt, though, the more I purchase.
Now, two yards is usually my choice. It is awful to run out of a particular fabric and not be able to find it anywhere...... :cry:
(and if I really like a fabric design, color, etc, I may just use it in another project, too......)
