I have to join as I need to see in black and white what I'm spending on quilting. The other day I had to move some of my stash that's in large plastic totes and realized that I have much too much fabric and I need to de-stash right now! That was only the stuff I had in my sewing room, not what's in the closet or the huge cabinet in the hallway.

My plan is to turn all the pieces in those totes that are less than 1/2 yard into strips or squares and make as many quilt tops as I can. Larger 'ugly' or "why did I ever buy this fabric" pieces will become backings. They will be donated to my guild's charity group or to HeartStrings. If I stop to quilt each top it would keep me from the big de-stashing I need to do.

Keeping an accounting of what I buy this year will be interesting . May in Jersey
