i don't have a big stash. i have purchased some very lovely fabric and i still have some of it but not too much, probably about two bins maybe. i guess i am lucky. most times when i start a quilt, i can find several colors that just blend right together or good enough to make a very pretty quilt top. i just always seem to need muslin and can't seem to keep any of that around. i just don't think the fabric is near the quality it used to be so i am very happy that i have a little extra on hand. i plan to start one of those dear jane quilts soon so i haven't decided on a background color for that. i may just mix it all up and see what it all looks like in different colors.
