    Are you kidding - absolutely - I have lots of fabric that i just love - sometimes its hard to cut into it or find just the right pattern.

    Yep, every time I walk into a fabric store. If you have Microsoft, use the "paint" tab and resize your pics to 30 and save as a jpeg file.

    I bought 2 half yard cuts of princess fabric (intended for a project)
    one yard cuts of 6 different fabrics
    one 2 yard cut of a flannel (intended for same project as above)
    and a 3 1/2 yard cut of plain black fabric.

    My husband was like "what are you going to do with all that?" I had no answer.

    Thanks for the tip on resizing pics! I forgot to mention that I also bought 8 fat quarters!
    These are all intended for a quilt for my daughter. [ATTACH=CONFIG]366129[/ATTACH]

    These were all Just Because

    Like Lynnie, about 99% of my fabric is "just because"...I rarely buy specific fabric for a specific thing...
