Reasons to buy more fabric

  1. Because it's there.
  2. Because it's going to be there soon.
  3. Because it's the last bit on the bolt.
  4. The seasons have changed.
  5. My cupboards need to be insulated.
  6. If a surface is covered in fabric, I don't have to dust it.
  7. It's neither immoral, illegal or fattening.
  8. I have to have the whole set, because you can't blend fabric like paint.
  9. Fabric neither poops nor throws up.
  10. I like to pet it.
  11. Because it's perfect for that project that is 15th on my list of projects to start after I finish all of my UFOs.
  12. It's on sale.
  13. It's not on sale, but it looks just like that fabric I once didn't buy when it WAS on sale.
  14. The other pieces get lonely.
  15. There's a pretty ribbon wrapped around it.
  16. It's organized in stacks named after food, like layer cakes and jelly rolls.
  17. All of the other flowers/polka dots/stripes/etc. in my collection are too big/too small/too weird/too perfect.
  18. I'm going to need that one day.
  19. It's calling to me, "Take me home! I'm an orphan!"

I agree with all the reason, could add a few of my own.

What a inspiring excuses list. Now I won't have to think of a reason for buying fabric; I can just use your list. Thinking # 8 and #18 will be used a lot.
