OK, I think I get it. I've been collecting "stash" over the last year, for the first time in over 30 years of sewing. Everyone on the QB talks about their "stash". So, I went to Target, bought their $32.00 bookcase, came home, assembled it myself, and started collecting.
I found as I sat and sewed (right next to my "stash"), the fabrics were speaking to me. I was daydreaming about how this fabric would look with that, and imagining patterns in my head.
It was wonderful, when last weekend, I found this Flag Table Topper in Jenny's Quickly Quilting Magazine, and all I had to do was go to my "stash" and pick out the fabrics. I didn't have to go to the store - and I loved it.
In times past, I would pick out a pattern and then shop for the fabric. I could never figure out why quilters wanted a "stash" because the amounts one would buy would never be the required amounts by pattern.
I have to say, it was such a great feeling making this project without shopping
I'm still not sure how much to buy of each fabric I like, I've just been buying a yard of each. (How much do you buy?)
Here's my project - and my stash. Thanks for helping me decide I NEED STASH. LOL

PS: I'm accused of "taking over the Master Bedroom". It's the only place I have to sew.
