Fellow Minnesotan! GMTA I too have a stash of mostly kits. When I need to buy, I usually am buying backings--usually at places like Mill End, where I don't have to pay top dollar. I do have to admit though that many of my quiting buddies consider me the "Queen of Kits" because of my stash. I'm probably a bit of a hoarder, but since I restrict my stash to my studio it's managable at this point. I dread the day when I'm in my 80's when others view my sweet hobby as a serious problem. My solution?---Sew as fast and furiously as I can at the moment!

If I like a quilt I see in a shop then I purchase all the fabrics for it. I think my stash is pretty controlled. I only buy backings for planned projects or when I need them and try and hit the 30% off sales at my LQS.
