And I'm sure I will buy more fabric from time to time...!<br />Actually I'm not Australian, I'm a NZer, but don't hold that against me! I'm very happy to have the chance to live here for a season...Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193180385628524129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694611382069551415.post-50102887049214202292012-09-17T23:04:13.487+12:002012-09-17T23:04:13.487+12:00A lot of online stores only sell half yard minimum...A lot of online stores only sell half yard minimum cuts, but some like Lola Pink or etsy stores let you buy in fat quarters and even let you make your own FQ bundles for cheaper! <br />I personally buy FQs when I can (or precuts to get a taste of the whole range!), half yards of favourites, and to buy a whole yard or more it must be a HUGE favourite (and on sale, lol!)<br />As for backings, I prefer to buy specifically for each quilt project.Alyce @ Blossom Heart Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076141669796712501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694611382069551415.post-13193540411710738782012-09-17T23:00:32.928+12:002012-09-17T23:00:32.928+12:00Oh Camilla you have good taste because I could pic...Oh Camilla you have good taste because I could pick up and run off with any of those lovely prints. I am keen to buy some of the 'text' print from Madrona Road before it all gets snapped up. And those shot cottons are gorgeous. I used some of them for a messenger bag and they were lovely and soft. I am so glad that you linked up through that comment at Lily's Quilts and it is lovely to have another Australian. You quilt amongst the gum tree back is inspirational. Hope to have you link up often.Finding Fifthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142260091844648941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694611382069551415.post-83240735313599410542012-09-06T20:49:58.376+12:002012-09-06T20:49:58.376+12:00Great fabrics!

And now here in Japan I buy fabric rarely... usually in small quantities. Over the years I built a stash with fat quarters... But then I like scrappy... and the stash grew as other quilters and I exchanged scraps. It grew even more as I purchased specific fabric for specific quilts. Always some left over after a project. And backing fabric - that never goes away! I always seem to have so much extra. Therefore, I choose backing carefully, with an eye towards buying something I love that will work with other quilts in the future. I look forward to seeing what you do with these lovely modern pieces.Cynthia@wabi-sabi-quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409769915035855136noreply@blogger.com
