One reason I started quilting was to use my DW's stash. I always thought she had too much fabric. Well she still does and I have used a lot of it. I have found that out of the fabric there is not enough that matches to make a quilt. So I must go buy more. My DW is more of a scrappy quilter than I, we have found out. I perfer to find a pattern buy the fabric and make my quilt. Of course I always over buy and now have my own stash. Learned you can not have too much. I tend to complete a project and want to go to the next one.
