I'm pretty much an impulse buyer, but I like to buy coordinating fabrics to use (someday) in a quilt. I also like to pick up blenders, and I use a lot of those as backing for cross stitch greeting cards. And I'm trying to build a stash of batiks, so I purchase fat quarters of those. Then occasionally, I will find a particular fabric that I just love, so I will build a quilt or other project around it. I guess I kind of do it all! I'm not very good at the resisting part of fabric acquisition.

And I'm just starting to try to organize my remnants. I'm cutting 5" strips or squares, 2 1/2" strips or squares and folding larger pieces in approximate same-size folds for easy storage and selection. I have lots of smaller sized pieces that I need to sort and discard to the doggie bed pillowcase for the animal shelter.
