I've just shopped my stash to make a couch throw sized quilt this week. The backing will also come from my stash along with the batting. This "shopping trip" will actually leave a small hole on one shelf. So many times the problem isn't that I don't have fabric - I just don't have the right shade or enough of a certain piece so "have" to buy more. I'm really into scrappy quilts right now and that helps!
