Quilters tend to collect fabric. Lots and lots of fabric. It's mostly 100% cotton, and it's all purchased with the express goal of making a quilt out of it, "someday." If we're lucky, we'll find a project for each piece of fabric shortly after purchasing it. Sometimes, we'll find a piece of fabric that we absolutely love but have no clue about what to do with it, and we'll often buy much more than we'll ever really need, just to make absolutely sure we have enough when inspiration strikes.
