This topic's replies are so funny..and so true. I had a good laugh over the "I don't remember buying this" and the elves brought it in. That has happened to me, not remembering I bought it. I can remember once thinking I didn't have enough variety of fabrics for a scrap quilt. That was a good excuse to buy more fabric. Then you have more and you think, well,I have too much to be able to decide which fabric to sew next or which fabrics to use in that scrap quilt. After a while you start looking for places to store the stash and there is little room left for more fabric except maybe under the bed. Quilters are creative thinkers, maybe that's why we need so much fabric to work with..the more fabric you have, the more you have to create with. I know this didn't help much. If you're serious about giving some away, torture yourself by giving away your favorite fabrics or give away fabric that just doesn't appeal to you like it once did. The old saying, your trash may be someone else's treasure is true even in fabric.
