Great looking quilted piece you have there. And yep, you are off to a great start with your stash! I am starting a queen size trip around the world quilt for my daughter's friend and I could go straight to {my stash} and select without going to the store. Whenever I go quilt shopping I buy 4 to 5 yards of fabric but in my area, I am blessed with a 2.99 store with great quality fabrics to choose from which makes it much more affordable. I can tell that you are having fun!
