My quilt shop has a month class for using your stash. So I went. I had a bundle of asian strips, and the pattern was for strip blocks. Well, I didn't totally like all the strips I had. Some were very dark. so I bought some more fabric in light colors to add to the stash. Then I bought fabric for the borders to bring it all together, and then I found this great Asian fabric for the back of the quilt.
So I spent $100 using my stash and ended up with more stash to boot. So I have only done one of the stash busting quilts because I ended up with more stash than I started with. Oh well.
