I too have joined this band wagon!! The prices are now outragious!!! I refuse to pay! Anyway, I have way toooo much of a stash. So am using my stash to make star blocks for oldest GS graduating in 3 yrs. Hope it's a big enough start, cause the next yr his brother & my oldest GD will be graduating. I have only spent $ for sashing at very little $. Sooo, I'm thinking when I pass, what in the world will my son & daughter do with it all?!
