If it is something on sale that I know I will use, I get however much they have, as usually the really 'good' sale fabrics only have a couple yards left on the bolt. If I really like it and don't have a specific project in mind I'll get 1-3 yards depending on the budget that day. The only time I get less than a yard is if it's a remnant or if I'm getting a FQ to see if the fabric will actually go with the fabrics I already have set aside for a particular project.

If I LOVE it, I buy a minimum of 3 yards, sometimes 5. I do mostly scrap quilts and I'm still bumping into fabric I bought when I first started quilting in the middle 90's; I like the way it connects all the quilts I make, not just because I made them, but there's at least a little piece of the past in my current project.

I usually get 1 yard unless it's a really unusual print, then I get 3-4 depending on what I think I am going to do with it. It's an addicting hobby:-)

While buying, select your feature fabric first then coordinate it. 2 yards of each should do it. Backing is a different story.

I usually get 1 yard. Or 2 or 3 etc. Depends on color and if the fabric yells out to me.

If it is a fabric that has the color or design I think is fabulous and it is not on sale I will buy a fat quarter and wait for the line to be on sale.
