How would I go about starting a stash? My hubby is actually encouraging me to buy extra fabric, the sweetheart. I am very lucky. How much should you buy if you don't know what you'll be doing with it? Fat quarters? A yard? More?
Help! Such a dilemma to have! hehe
A good place to start is yard sales, thrift stores (I have found some excellent fabric there) and I usually buy 1 to 2 yards at a time.
Make sure it isn't too thin tho.
