I have enough fabric to cover at least three states. My mother passed in 2013 and since I am the only one of my siblings that sews I got her stash and supplies. I did go through all of it before I brought it to my house and only brought material that was suitable for quilting. That amounted to 5 large plastic bags........I have washed all of it and I use what I can for charity quilts. I supply two guilds with stacks of material for charity projects. I guess I have enough for about three years of projects. I do not have to buy thread for the next century. I keep a great portion in the freezer so it does not rot. The only fabric I buy is a coordinating fabric or sometimes a backing. I have already told my daughters they will have the leftovers to deal with.....I need to be sewing at 99 to use all this fabric. Right now I make about 20 to 25 charity quilts per year......and I need to increase my output!!
