I have a large stash of fabrics, a lot of novelty fabric. I am to make a quilt using this fabric and will not purchase any other fabric to use in this quilt. This sounds like fun!
Welcome and good luck..You have the general idea...seems that we are real good at giving each other excuses to fall off the wagon tho!! LOL...From what I have been doing I try to use all stash..Of course this doesn't work all the time..for example I am about to begin a graduation gift quilt, which I had the recepient pick the fabrics she wanted. I have had to buy a little solid for a project that I had the rest of in stash...I see that people have made exceptions for birthdays etc~! I have begun organizing my scraps and have been amazed at what I canl do with them..I have done one scrappy quilt all from stash, and a twin size that was all stash too. My daughter's prom gown was mostly from stash too!! I did cheat and buy $10 worth of clearance fabric to make tote bags for Sadies choice, I couldn't resist the fairy and pooh designs..that $10 will make the main fabric for 8 tote bags!! Good luck and hopefully by this time next year we will NEED stash!!
