I buy one yard cuts for stash buillding. I get them from joannes with 50% off coupons or during their sales, thrift stores, yard sales, garage sales, even on craigslist. eBay has some great fabrics too! Even though they may not cordinate it's just to build a stash. Don't expect to get coordinating fabrics this way, you may get lucky and come across a few in the same line but for those of us who like scrappy this is a great way for us to get varieties at the cheapest cost.

When I find a project I want to do .... I usually squeeze out enough $ to buy fabric for the project ..... How the heck do you build a stash ?!??! I thought maybe if I bought 1/2 yd of one fabric for the stash .... but then they then wouldnt coordinate !!!
Any secrets ?
