I think it is a far more CREATIVE challenge to use what you have. My stash has come from garage sales, estate sales, and friends who throw out fabric, and I still have too much. Quit buying to leave for someone else when you die. I try to enjoy and be thankful for what God has blessed me with. It all comes from Him, and we won't carry it with us. (guess I started preaching, didn't I! Sorry.)
But you told it like it realy is, why do you think at those estate sales you can get the fabric for almost nothing, no family member quilts/sews. I tell my kids my stash of stuff is their inheritance :thumbup:
