A couple of years ago I ran across a great sale -- the fabric was anywhere from 60% to 90% off and it was a line I had been looking at for a year. I ended up buying 85 yards of fabric that day -- the smallest pieces were 3 yards, the next size was 6 yards then if they had it I bought 9 yards. The 9 yard pieces make great backings. That purchase only cost me $200.00 so I was fortunate. My stash to that point was mostly brights -- this gave me a great civil war, antique look that I really liked.

I love the fat quarters for scrap quilts and especially for the Wickedly Easy quilt block. A baby quilt only takes 6 fat quarters using that pattern. But I know I have too many and I get frustrated when it is the perfect fabric for a project and there's not enough.

While my sister was having surgery procedure, my niece and I went to the nearby WAlmart. I'm going back tomorrow. They had a table with fabric on sale. From $1.50 yard and up to $4.50. I'll probably purchase a couple yards each. I took photos of the fabric I want. This is first time I've seen a long table full of fabric.

Minimum of 1/2 yard and preferably at least 1 yard of each..

Our LQS has their big sale this long weekend. I went today and bought 2yds from each bolt that had "caught my eye". They also had FQs on sale for $1. Probably bought more than was necessary, but as my dear grandmother use to say: Sometimes you have to spend money to save money.

I just bought a total of 15 yards from Marshall's Dry Goods. It is a cheaper material, but I am making cooler PJ's for the kids this summer. It gets hot here in Florida in the summer. Hanna Montana and a boy band fabric at .50 cents a yard. Clearance couldn't turn it down

I buy 5 - 8 yds for a backing, and 2 - 3 yds if using in a quilt top and border. With the prices nowadays, sale fabric is a given purchase.

I buy 2 to 3 yards if I really like it...more if I love it. I use pieces of it when I need it in a quilt. I love fabric and am always adding to my stash.

Be careful your hobby is quilting and not just buying fabrics!! It happens.

I always buy 3 yards of same print, but like said before if you can afford it buy 1 of each
