Hello fellow Texan!!! LOL My stash consists of fabrics that I have had for a lot of years and fabrics that I have been given by friends and family over the years. It has grown to more than I would have ever imagined. I have never been able to throw away any scraps left from any kind of project. Recently I organized all of these so that my grand daughter and I would be able to see them easily and now do not plan to buy anything unless it is needed as a blending fabric in a specific project. Today I will be getting myself and GD started on a project to use a lot of the scraps. There is a tute here showing the use of adding machine tape (3") a sort of paper piecing. Various sized strips are sewn "across" the tape making a "roll" of striped pieced fabrics to use in other projects. I thought this was a great way to get scraps ready for using in future project.
