I did a full inventory and clean up this past September. Actually, I scared myself. Had no idea I had collected this much fabric. Still, when other QB members talk about their stash, mine would only qualify as "small potatoes". I bought no fabric from November until just last week. CT had a good sale so I bought some very basic fabrics. The last 8 or so quilts I made, I completed just using my stash. It felt good but I've hardly made a dent. Don't be embarrassed, it has probably happened to most of us. You will put it to good use, and you're right, I wouldn't be still quilting if I had to pay $14 or more a yard.
