Welcome to the board and welcome to this thread. Off hand I'd say you probably could pull together one or two quilts from your stash, so please, yes join us!

I think if you have too much that you should share with your moratorium friends. :D I wish I had the room for that much fabric! Oh I'd get in so much trouble!!!

Yeap, you'll fit right in. There isn't a minimum reguired but your clearly an overachiever. Welcome from Oregon.

OH NO, I feel a competition coming on.......lol

Of course you should join. The more the merrier.

I'm conflicted today: Need to work on a Round Robin and I do not have the right shade of blue for the sky fabric. I have light blue, dark blue, purpely blue, blue green, teal blue, but not a scrap of grey blue. All the shades I have a jarringly off so I have to go to Joann after work to find something to match. On the upside I have all the other fabrics in my stash.

Here are a few things I have made since rearranging my fabric and finding fabric I forgot I had. Imagine that. I am currently working on three small wall hangings that I found (among many other things) when I rearranged my fabric. I posted pictures of my reorganization under Mission Organization. It is such a good feeling to be using fabric that I already have.

Welcome Mrsmck. Wow! To be able to have so much fabric to choose from and probably acquired at a price much less than today's prices. Lucky you. Welcome and so glad you have joined us. Please share pics when you make somewonderful creation. Sophie2, thanks for sharing pics of your latest. The floral panels are so unique. Is there a pattern for them? I am wondering how you made them in 3-D??? Lastly, I admit, I fell off the wagon again. Or at least one foot. I bought one charm pack from MSQ on their daily deal and added one other charm pack to make the shipping worthwhile. Still a savings, considering my closest fabric store is over 10 miles away.

Thank you for the compliment. I did the 3-d flowers on my embroidery unit. After doing the embroidery you cut the bobbin threads and "pow" the flowers pop.
