Thank you everyone for your very well thought out ideas on how much yardage to purchase for a stash. I too find fat quarters a bit frustrating. Sometimes, there just doesn't seem to be quite enough for my project.
I would just like enough fabric supply so that when I want to start a new project I can reach in and find at least the basics that I need. I think for me that means purchasing colors that I love. I don't think I can go wrong if I purchase my favorite colors as some of you mentioned.
Having a stash of fabric for quilting is so different from ordinary garment sewing as you have something specific in mind and the yardage requirements when purchasing fabrics for garments and such.
Thank you again for sharing your wisdom! :thumbup:
