I'll grab yardage of Kona solids and batting for not much at all. I also pay attention to Twitter and when an online fabric stores give discounts I'll buy then, too. I just got two Riley Blake fat quarter bundles (about 20 pieces in each) for $80. That will get me through a ton of projects. I usually wait for sales unless it's a line that I have to have (Rashida Coleman-Hale's Tsuru was a must have!)<br /><br />I don't have a set budget, but I may spend $200 on fabric one month but not spend anything else for two or three months.<br /><br />As an aside, I have a low-interest credit card that I only use to buy fabric. I manage my spending that way, since I only can use up to 30% of the balance (or credit issues happen!)<br /><br />Hope this helps!Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780472959441671667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2815846881435750852.post-12059734883178549002013-03-31T01:55:28.473-04:002013-03-31T01:55:28.473-04:00I buy 2 or three fat quarters from BigW when I sho...I buy 2 or three fat quarters from BigW when I shop. They also have 1.5meter lenghts. They are great for scrappy quilts. I also keep my eye out for 100% cotton Flanelette sheets for sale they make great backing. I got a new queen set for $19 instead of paying $22.00 per meter for fabric. If you choose sheets that match the front of the quilt you can use the pillow cases with your quilt. I also make Waggas from recycled denim, flannel shirts and sheets from the op shops. Another option is 100% curtan material, it is wider and costs less per metre.

I buy a lot of charm packs -- you'd be surprised what you can do with those little squares. Everyone in my family also knows that a fabric gift certificate to one of my favorite online shops is the best gift for me, so that helps a lot too!Heidi Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797935137918208939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2815846881435750852.post-42942577107194788042013-03-05T21:15:36.691-05:002013-03-05T21:15:36.691-05:00I feel your pain and anguish!

It takes a long time to build a stash. What I've been doing lately is going to Beverlys.com and checking out their deal of the day. Every day they offer three fabrics for 2.97 a yard. Some are really nice.
