I must be an atypical quilter. Most of the things I read on this board, and that many people seem to agree that they do the same things..I do not do. I don't have trouble cutting into fabric because it's pretty. Nor do I have tons of large pieces of fabric just sitting around. I do have stash but it is almost all small pieces left over from past projects. I have every intention of using all of it as soon as I finish making requested quilts for my family. I love scrap quilts so having a stash like mine is going to be a gold mine in the future. I can't wait to use it all up!
