I started quilting last July. My stash grew quickly and is now on a more incline ;) I got lucky and hit a huge clearance at Joann's where they had gotten in new lines and had tons of 100% cotton (good quality to!) for.... 1.50 a yard! Needless to say I spend quite a bit that day by the time it was done! Also got lucky at a yard sale and now e-bay and connecting threads are gettin me in trouble! I buy what I like and always get things to coordinate, just in case they don't have em next time.... ya know two days later when I stop back in lol
