How much fabric to buy?

I went to my local Quilt shop to get my Bom and instead spent $100 on fabric! How much is too much? She had the Butterfy Fling by Moda in and I had to have it! I decided to get 1 meter of each of 6 bolts. Now I have an idea and need to back for more. I always find that I meter is just enough for future projects as long as it is not background fabric.

I rarely buy background fabric until I have a project to put it into. The exception is if it is a really good sale. In that case I buy between 5 to 7 meters, as that is what most quilt patterns call for.

In the end it comes down to what you can afford and how much is on the bolt.

Check out the shop - I just put a couple of summer bags for women on it.

  1. From one "fabric junkie" to another, fabric is a nice "fix".
