Are you a remnant junkie?

The reason I like remnants is that I'm also a "I'll take the rest of the bolt" kinda gal. So this keeps me from bringing home more than I should buy. It basically makes the decision for me about how big of a piece I should get.

When my Wal-Mart had remnants I would always check them out, as well as JoAnn's. Sometimes I have found enough remants to make a baby quilt - you're cutting the fabric apart anyway to piece it together again. I always check out the remnants as sometimes I find some real gems.

Most of my stash is remnants and I just love the hunt. I recently found some very colorful remnants from the sew-quick dresses for girls. I just trim off the fitted top and have a very colorful add for a quilt.
What about all of you? Are you remnant junkies?

Just a "heads up" for all. At Hobby Lobby, if there are two or less yards on a bolt and you want that in addition to what you were buying, they consider it a remnant, and will sell it for 40% off. I always look for the bolts with the least amt. of fabric on them for a real bargain!
