About 2 years ago, I had an "aha" moment about my stash.....I needed to stop buying fabric until I had used a lot of it up making quilts. I am a scrap quilter so needed and bought lots of different fabrics and because I belong to a group who makes baby quilts for children in the hospital and everyone knows I'm a scrap quilter, they give me their scraps....scraps on scraps on scraps. I took the "scrap therapy" workshop so now most of my scraps are uniformly cut.....but still a real lot of fabric....bins and bins of it. I don't want to leave it for my daughters to have to clear out. I'm doing it a little at a time, giving fabric away that I won't use to people who will. Hopefully that'll make it a little easier on the girls when it no longer matters to me. I have to say, though....it's been fun to find scrappy patterns that will use up all those carefully cut scraps. I am enjoying it.
