I can so relate to this thread! I rarely used any stash and just kept piling it up. Then last year (after retirement) I decided that I needed to change my ways. I started with BH's Celtic Solstice--and while I did need to get some FQ of orange and neutral--I had plenty of greens & blues! Since then I've dipped into my stash for some other projects-even a whole table runner! And I'm got my fabric for BH's next quilt--had to buy some cause I just did not have enough of the pink--but feel like I'm making a start.
And I'm saving all strips to use in a log cabin that is very scrappy.
