Well, many of us have said that we could live to be 115 before we ever used up our stash. :?
For people who are just beginning to quilt, like myself, i do not have a "stash" yet. I barely have enough material to make even one quilt. So i feel badly for those who are just beginning this soon-to-be very expensive hobby. It reminds me of when the price of "paper products" would rise, due to the same type of problem that fabric is now having. Eventually, the price of paper settled back down - let's just hope fabric will do the same.
