Ghostrider, I agree with you wholeheartedly. We live in a rural community and the nearest quilt shop is about 40 miles or so away. I have a sizable stash and I love it. I'm in love with scrappy quilts, so any outdated, whatwasIthinking fabric gets cut up for string quilts. I think that it's Bonnie Hunter that said, "If you have some ugly fabric, cut it up. If it's still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough!"
