I have only been "stashing" for hmmm a few months....I was only going to buy what I needed and maybe some fat quarters :lol: :lol: :lol:
Now I have 3 huge tubs FULL to overflowing with fabric. No its not as big as some BUT I do have about 10 projects with fabric and patterns all together plus LOTS more fabric with no pattern or project in mind LOL now to find the time.
I use to worry about building my stash ...but trust me it will grow all on its own :lol:
Get what you LOVE and most patterns call for about 2-3 yards of one color.
Dont forget batting.....I only have 2 packages of crib size batting and wish I had a couple queen size. Oh well after I get back to work I will get some LOL
