I buy lots of fabric that I have no project in mind for at the time of purchase. That is why I have 9 18 gallon tubs of fabric plus some in garbage bags that was given to me. I just Love fabric!!!
When Quilt in A Day of Paducah had their fabric for $4.00 a yard--I bought 15 yards of various colors and patterns.
Usually if I really like a certain fabric I buy at least 3 yards. I rarely buy fat quarters unless they are really on sale. I just like to buy yardage then i can cut it up however I want.
