i read on here recently that someone would buy fabric they really liked, and then they didn't want to cut it. Well, that's about the way I am with my fat quarters. I buy my yardage, but I am ADDICTED to fat quarters. I'll start to make something and then think, "Oh, that's one of my favorite pieces." Well, prices are going up tomrrow. Gotta go to my lqs.
