I am sure that my stash is small compared to many here but it overwhelms me at times. I can't bear to use it, thinking that I may need/want it for something else. So I have started something different for me. I am making controlled scrappy quilts. I am only buying 7 inch wide pieces of fabric and cutting them into 5 inch charms squares and 2 inch strips. Saves me a ton on money, especially when I find fabric on sale. And I can happily cut into my fabric without guilt.
