My actual "acquired for quilting" stash only started about 9 months ago, but someday I will find the many scraps I kept "for making quilts or crafty things" from every sewing project since about 1960. (I know there are some in boxes under the bed in the guest room, some hiding in the garage, some in the back of a high cupboard, some in a box in my Horror Room (aka sewing room, square-dance-petticoats room, storage room and extra closet). And then there are the clothes that shrank while hanging in the closet but their fabrics are too pretty to get rid of; since weight loss is elusive, I guess they are now potential quilts!
