Oh and one more thing about my stash. I am a big Bonnie Hunter fan of "Quiltville" fame and after she spoke to our guild and I took her class, I am a reformed scrap saver. I use her system and it has really been wonderful! I sort all of the scraps at the end of a project into strings, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3 and 3 1/2 inch bins. If the scrap is 5 inches or less, I cut them into the above sizes and then I have a separate organizer for those. I further divide them into lights and darks. It has been great because of little side projects where I am doing something scrappy and I can just go to those bins and grab what I need. In the past year I have made two of her quilts and my daughters proclaim they are the prettiest ones I have made to date.

This is her "Carolina Christmas" mystery quilt from last year, which I just finished last week.
