I started almost 2 years ago and can honestly say that I have only slipped twice, and only for 1 project each! I have used just my stash for the rest of my quilting, about 12 quilts! For a couple of them I needed to buy 1 fabric to complete the project or a backing! Withe the price of fabrics today, I am so glad I had such a huge stash! I understand that the price of cotton has come down but it will probably be a while, if ever, we see a price change!
