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.

SINCE IT HAS A CERTAIN TIME,BUY WHAT YOU NEED THE MOST OR HIGHEST PRICE ITEM YOU KNOW YOU WILL USE.

I would stock up batting and all the different rulers I don't have.

Most important is to buy one piece of the most beautiful fabric you can find. Then you can stock up on the basics like batting or notions. But buy that one georgous piece of material.

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.

This is what I would buy. Backing is always more of a cost issue with me than even batting.

I'd buy bolts of Kona Bay and Kaufmann PFD pima and sheeting cotton. Batting, thread, mistyfuse, markers. OOps got carried away.

You have a wise daughter!

I would buy batting. Nice to have the choice!
