I love the idea of collecting a stash now when you are working full time! That will be my standard reply from now on when anyone asks me why, oh why am I buying more fabric! I have so much fabric it is really quite embarrassing. I do have it organized quite well and most people just look in awe at the wall of fabric. But it does come in handy. A friend of mine recently found her old SBS quilt her mother had made for her when she was a little girl. It is in tatters except for the little girls. I found in my stash an almost twin of the sashing fabric! What a great reason to have so much fabric!
