This is how you add to your stash (or acquire one)!
I found a pattern for a red and white quilt. Pulled all the fabric from my stash -- but needed 2 5/8 yard of a dark red. Found a piece at the quilt store and bought three yards. (only one fabric would go with what I had) Went to another quilt shop and found a better piece of fabric to match what I had so ended up buying it. Now I have 3 yards of red I won't be using. At least it is washed, ironed and ruler folded!
