But most of my stash are less than one yard pieces for various reasons. I am working on a quilt using a set of shop hop fabric I bought last year, but had to get background fabrics, and borders. Still need the backing, too, but I'm waiting until I'm ready for it. Good luck using up those humongous stashes! I plan to do some scrappies when I finish what I'm doing now.
Understand what your saying. For me, I just have to slow way down on buying. Otherwise I am not only going to be broke (and certainly no help to any LQS store at that point), plus I will be one of those hoarders, buried in fabric. So this is a good thing for many of us.
