One question,"Is what you already have organized"? I found that after I could SEE my stash, I am using up allot of it.

I am just not going to add any more fabric to my stash and going to be selling much of my fabric to down sizing it. I am going to sell out most of it and when I deside to quilt I will just buy what I need fom now on. I just don't have room for all of it and not fair to my family when the fabric plugs every closet, shelves and were ever else I can stash it. I live in a appartment and it isn't fair to my family.

So I started finishing and at the same time not buying any fabric. I haaven't bought any fabric this year, but I haven't made much of a dent in my stash. I took 2 quilt tops to the quilter and am working on another quilt. The only thing I have bought is thread. And I'm still finding half finished quilts in the closet.

The only way to stop is not too look online or shop in the stores! And it's hard!

I told myself I would try to stay out of the fabric stores in August and use what I have in my stash. I also need to start thinking of holidays and what I want to do for gifts or for myself.

I feel your pain, LOL. This addiction is getting out of hand.
Maybe we need to start a Rehab Center. :(
