I have 2 or 3 quilting friends who've each been quilting for 15+ years and have very limited stash, as they buy only for the quilt that they're making. When enough leftovers are left they all make charity quilts and then have no stash again.
I, on the other hand have 1000+ yards of fabric, no kidding[/quote]
Ohhhh, I envy you, how wonderful to have so much fabric to choose from!!! You wouldn't even have to use sheets for backing! LOL. Not that I really mind using the sheets, they are sturdy and long lasting if I choose wisely. And I do enjoy the spirit of the hunt for fabrics in yard sales and thrift stores! So I'm really not complaining about my lot. I am blessed with what I have, I know!!!
