One can never have too much fabric--at least until the guilt sets in. I don't have a super large stash, but boy with fabric prices sky-rocketing like they are, I'm thankful for the stash I do have from when I was splurging. Of course splurging can cause some mistakes, and those I use for charity quilts. Think about homeless shelters, abused women and children's centers, veteran organizations, (its amazing how many homeless veterans there are)and such. My favorite two are the senior center and the children's cabinet because both of these groups will take either fabric or finished products. I also donate to smaller quilt groups within the guild. Some of these groups quilt for charity and can accomplish lots when I don't have the time to help. Now, I try to just buy by project, or on sale, I keep my scraps and make at least one small project using them after finishing a big one. However, I must confess, just entering the fabric store sets my adrenaline running and every now and then, I lose all will power when i see a special fabric or 2, 3, 4------------that I can't live without. Happy quilting!
