I quilt. I love working with the batiks too, but I have been working exclusively with scraps for a few years now because my collection of fabric verges on the absurd. But I'm always scared to buy less than a pattern asks for! The worst quilt I ever made was a water color quilt. It was an interesting project, REALLY difficult and completely controlled my life for a couple months. The result was pretty but I don't know if it was worth the effort and the huge expense in having to go shopping over and over again so I could find a 2X2 inch square of fabric that was the correct shade of yellow on 1 side and black on the other. Eventually I was stuck buying block pieces of 12 inches or larger just to take out 1 single 2 inch square. And thus the ridiculous stash. I occasionally think about doing one again but it actually brings on anxiety. I think I'll stick with squares and triangles.
