When you see a fabric that you love --just don't know how you would use it -- how much do you buy? I'm new at this and at first I was just buying fat quarters but it is not enough for some of my needs.

It depends on what the fabric is for.If it is to be the focus fabric or to be used as border that I get 3 yds. Of others 1yd. this is really true if I do not have pattern in mind. If you REALLY like the fabric then get 2 yds and it can be used in other projects. I was told by a shop owner she get 4 yds and puts left over in her staqtch for later use.

Any amount I can afford depending on the fabric and the price. If it's to be used as a focus fabric usually 2 or 3 yds, a backing at least 6, to add to my stash 1 yd. If it's clearanced and really reduced and I like it a lot I'll get whatever is on the bolt. Sometimes if I'm wanting to use it for backing, borders and sashing I just get the whole bolt if the price is right. I have two sisters that quilt and I share a lot with them.
