So, I'm going to force myself to concentrate on adding these items to my stash. What about you?
yep I don't have those either but what I'm missing the most of is ideas. LOL
I have a huge stash but I'm very lacking on the ideas part of using them. Most of my quilts are what you might call "planned quilts". I don't think I have ever made a scrappy one but it's high time I learned how, right? I have pre-cut a bunch of batting so I can try and do a quilt as you go scrappy but they have been sitting there for 6 months because it scares me to get started on a quilt with no idea of what it's going to look like. I know I need to just start.
Anyone have an idea on how I should just get started on this thing?
