I'm really a beginner quilter. If you don't believe me just look at my quilts lol. So learning to shop my stash before travelling to the LQS is a great idea for me. I accidentally bought a drapery material at Walmart so Now I'll have to keep that until I'm experienced enough to do a mixed material project. And I'm collecting little bits and pieces that are left over and also ones that I thought would work with a project but don't.
