Most of my fabric is 30 years old, more or less. It is my goal to sew up my fabric before I die. I rarely buy fabric. I would love to buy some new fabric, but I am pretty commited to using what I have. I do buy solids, but that is about all and only when they are on sale.
I am finding it challenging to work within the boundaries of what I already have. It's kinda funny. I bought what I liked so most of it goes together pretty well. I used to back my quilts with muslin or a solid, but now I use my stash. It was hard to do at first, but I am enjoying my creative backings.
Good luck to everyone on their stashes!
