I do believe you are hooked! I like going to the LQS (even though the prices are higher) because the ladies there are actually quilters and not fabric cutters. I've always found them to be helpful in helping me select fabric for a particular quilt pattern. I'm still in the mind set of "matchy, matchy" and they help me with fabrics that will look good in a quilt.

To help keep prices down you can use coupons at Joann's online. Buy the pretty fabric at the quilt store - they will be happy to help you match colors/fabrics and buy fusible/batting when they have it on sale at Joann's (or other online stores). A lot of the stores will have free shipping if you buy over a certain amount.
And remember to enjoy yourself! There are a lot of things I would do different just starting out. First, I would tell myself to finish a project before starting the next one. Ha - like I would listen to myself! LOL

Love reading all of the replies, and I think I may have to go back today or tomorrow to buy my supplies for the upcoming classes.
I am sure I will not be tempted to buy other fabric while I am there .....
