I love the idea of buying FQ or precuts when you travel as a way to remember that trip. I can see doing a jelly roll race or something with a jelly roll bought on vacation. I love to buy the FQs when they're on sale if I find a cool fabric that speaks to me. I always have the idea of turning them into a scrappy quilt or maybe a crazy quilt one day. When I have a project and start shopping for fabrics I seem to buy just what I need for that quilt without giving myself much wiggle room. I can see now that there is more than one reason to overbuy a bit on a fabric that I like.
