I don't have my own stash as my mom made quilts, she doesn't have time anymore, and as I don't have my own car or a job that will give me extra money as it all goes toward college, I have to use whatever she's got left. A lot of it is stuff that was given to her that she didn't use and I look at it and go, I don't know what to use that for so it goes back to the bottom.
I do however have a few little scrap pieces that I really liked and put them in my own little box or small pieces that my aunt gave me that were left over from a quilt she made, funny, I get a lot of triangles from her...
