I don't have a stash either, since I'm a fairly new quilter- but I have a BIG stash of clothing fabric. I have been just buying for my project so far, with funds tight, but if I see something outstanding I grab it. I try to take a lot of classes at my Guild, and they always refer to just grabbing this and that from your stash, and I have to go buy it for just a small amount. I guess I need to keep stocking up on FQ's, too. I try to buy Batiks to have since they are so versible. Put them on your B-day and Christmas list!!!
