I have vowed to not buy more fabric unless it is blender materials. I have lots of prints but blenders are always in demand... so I guess if it were a blender and I liked it, I'd probably buy the bolt lol.

Use your stash.. I don't have nearly as much as some of you, but if you think about it, do we have more than what we can ever use in our lifetime? We can always donate some of ours to someone that doesn't have, and can't afford.. and then buy the new stuff..

Would I? Yes. Despite the fact that I have way too much fabric. That is why I am going on a 1 year No Buy except for swaps or fabric needed to finish a UFO. I need to get the stash down.
I only use clearance fabric (at LQS) for backings, so I'd get enough for 2-3 backings rather than for an unplanned project. Perhaps by the time I'm ready to use the backing, something might come to mind, but in the meantime, I have a nice backing.

I said I would not buy material until next May. However, my LQS had 40 percent off on Black Friday and I already had 85 dollars in gift cert. at that store. I could not pass up the chance to make my Gift Cert. go even farther. We are all fabricholics, lets just admit it.

it never hurts to buy a little fabric you dont have a plan for but with my budget these days i make sure its not very often.
most of the time i have a plan or at least an idea of what its for. i must admit the only black friday sale i attended was at joanns i had coupons and specific stuff in mind and although i saved a bundle i didnt get too carried away all i can say is what a sale lol.
