How do you buy fabric ...
#62
Have not bought quilt blocks on E-Bay before. However, I found some today I would like. In fact, I had purchased this lilac material at JoAnn's, plus the purple, and a green at LQS. Question: How hard is it to set up Pay Pal 'cause this Seller won't take anything but Pay Pal. Need some help here folks!

Color more than pattern. I love a good deal but the size of my stash attests to the power of impulse. I live within a few hours of Mary Jo's Fabrics. A trip down there usually results in a new pile of fabric for which I have no immediate plans. Best thing to do is stay away. ;-)

By impulse a lot of the time. I see a quilt that has been made and think gee I like that quilt in those colors and off I go. Have a lot of UFOs this way and am currently trying to only buy fabric for a project I am starting immediately and that has a deadline. I ten to procrastinate.

I'm a touchy, feely person. I usually am attracted by color first, the texture of the fabric and then the price. I rarely buy on impulse; I have learned they usually just stay in my stash. I try to buy for each quilt I am making, but if it calls for 32 fat quarters, you can bet that I will end up buying at least 40 before I get the combination that I like. That is why I have Fabric Galore.

I buy what screams at me, or jumps into my cart.... Fabric is very unruly and has a mind of it's own....And sometimes I go online and the fabric fairies take my credit card out of my wallet and purchase stuff....I am not in control....<sigh>

I have a quilt in mind and I only buy what I need! So I would have to say...by color, by print, and by price! It has to meet all three criteria for me to actually purchase it.
