Thank you for starting this. It's really important to find what works for you. I do art quilts that require a little piece of this and a little piece of that. And it's a minimum of 1/2 hr drive to a traditional quilt store. Making an art quilt requires a lot of auditioning. Most of my stash is 1/2 yd or less. So I'm glad to have my stash. And even though I'd not even come close to the winning of the competition (He who dies with the most-wins), it is pretty extensive.
