I have been trying to not buy fabric with some success. Between what I have bought , been given and purchased at yard sales my stash is huge. I feel it is out of control. I have only been buying a couple of fabrics here and there to finish up a project. A lot of my yard sale fabric just isn't me so that is what I use for quilt backs and donation quilts. Most of my quilt backs are pieced so I don't have to purchase any fabric. I recently finished a queen sized quilt and only had to purchase the binding since nothing in my stash was quilt right. I have also made several baby quilts from my stash. Good luck to everyone trying to clean out their stash. I stil need to make a scrap quilt since I have a drawer crammed with scraps.
