Since I began quilting 4 years ago, I have graciouslly received almost all of my fabrics from people who did not want their fabrics any longer. I finally had to admit that my fabric stash was way out of control. So, I began cutting squares from 1 1/2 up to 5 inches. It is a long and slow process...but it amazes me how much space it does save. Plus, cutting the fabrics is relaxing. I know from Quiltville and all of Bonnies quilting projects..it will be fabulous to just dig in and create.
