I have gotten into quilting because of my Mom - she's 90 - Anyway she has a room that is lined with shelves that are FULL of fabric. Have no idea how much in yardage. I swore I would not buy any fabric until we had made a sizable dent in all that she has.....that only lasted a year. I've gotten into a couple projects that....believe it or not, there was no appropriate fabric in Mom's stash. Now I've got to figure out how to organize what I have started to collect.
