i do have a large stash but i have always been extremely selective of what i will buy or even accept for free.
if i know i won't use it or don't like it i will not buy it or accept it - not even for charity quilts.
i learned long ago that i only enjoy working on quilts that are made with fabrics that speak to me.
so even if its free or a buck a yard if it doesn't speak to me i don't want it.
