Depending on the car situation, I'm planning on going to a fabric store later this week, in which all fabric is 1.99/yrd. Being new to quilting, and not quite sure what pattern I want to do first, I'm unsure what to buy. My budget is probably about $30, and I do plan on getting some fall and/or Christmas fabric to make holiday napkins with.
I did go a couple weeks ago and got around five fabrics, all in one yard pieces. With out realizing it, most don't go with anything else, and some I like, I'm just not sure what to do with.

You can make a scrappy quilt. Here is a good website with free patterns to the right side.
