Well part of it is from projects I don't throw anything away. Some I buy especially for a project/quilt and the rest is when I see something I really like I buy a yd or maybe two and not a special plan for them when I buy but hopefully I'll live long enough to do use all the fabric I've bought and keep on buying. I am putting me on Hold now except for the backorder fabric I'm waiting for then that's it for a while I must stop myself for a while and finish up some of the things I have here. Good luck getting your stash it just takes a little time to get one. Sue
