Anyway I can get it LOL.
Really I stick with scraps and clearance.I Got fabric today, Quilt shop quality mind you, "brand name" good stuff for 2.25 a yard, I bought 25 yards and decided to go back in the morning I will then for sure have enough to last the rest of my life! (and longer lol) I figure I will then have to stick to swapping to satisfy my NEED for new fabrics.

Most of the time its primarily impulse. Color is usually what I notice first then I go for how it feels and the price. If the price is out of line with the quality of the fabric then it will probably not go home with me.
Sometimes I'm trying to find one more fabric to go with 2
or 3 I already have but need another to complete the design I have in mind.
A few weeks ago I had been going through my stash and realized that I had lots of some colors and not many of others that I really liked so I looked particularly for teals and aquas on my next shopping trip.
