I start out with "immediate need" to finish a project. I have totes and totes of fabric sorted by color. Then I have several totes of coordinated quilt fabric with specific pattern all lined up and ready to sew. I am now buying sale fabric to complete those into quilts. I goal is to finish those first.......however, then I slip and see some beautiful fabric I just can't live without. If I find a real good bargain no way am I going to let that slip out of my hands.
