I have a hard time resisting fabrics at full price - much less fabric at 60% off!

There is no way I should need to buy fabric right now, but I've just bought 30 yards in the last few days - because I don't have the perfect ones in my stash. It's insane.

I have so much fabric now that I am trying to use what I have. Its not a bargin if you do not need it. Now I am feeling pretty good about using what I have in the stash. It took a year to build it.

At that price, I would at least look and see. I guess I would buy fabric in my color range to have on hand.

Ditto for sure, couldn't pass a sale like that.

OMG thats me for sure, I told my sewing buddy, I'm not buying anymore fabric because I have more than I'll use in my life time, then off I go and buy more, LOL

If I really liked the fabric I would buy some. Otherwise I would try to use up my stash.

I'd go over my U.F.O list in my mind and think if it would be a good time to get border, binding or backing fabric for those projects. At 60% it would be hard to pass up.
