I found one and bought five yards and may go get more. In Texas we pride ourselves in our beautiful wildflowers. I went in my favorite quilting store last week and found a beautiful fabric of bluebonnets, red Indian Paint brushes, yellow wild flower, pink all blended on a navy blue background. My friends and I bought so much Ms. Godfrey is ordering more. They had two quilts made up in it...I wish you could see it. I just came home and hung the material on my quilt rack so I could see it. What did I Pay? Welllllll I won't be shopping for awhile.

I have several old Japanese 14" wide that I'd never cut. I alternate hanging one on my bedroom wall.
Currently I have hanging a fabric that reminds me of a favorite Anni Albers painting from 1926, I'll never cut it either.

I have a soft spot for mostly dog fabrics. Any animal fabric will call my name. Depending on how loud it calls me is how much I buy. Usually atleast a yard. I have a large trunk and 3 large totes full of just dog fabric. Its all my favorite though. :-D :-D :-D

I'm looking for green with four leaf clovers. Can't find it in the stores here. If you see some on line let me know. I'm going to make memory quilts from my dear husbands shirts. He was full blood Irish so I'm looking for the backing.

I have also purchased the same fabric (3 times) because I love it so much, put it up in a special place so it won't get wrinkled or damaged, and forget I have it. I found lots when I worked on my new fabric room last summer that I had totally forgotten that I had, but love. I also am guilty of getting stuff out, looking at it, playing with it, and putting it back for a special pattern.

I do have a very favorite and was able to put it in a quilt without too much agony while cutting the pieces but have purchased more of the exact fabric when I found it just to have the pleasure of seeing that great fabric in my stash. I see myself as a fabric collector as well as a quilter.
