I cut my pieces as I find a quilt I want to make. In the last month I've cut strips for and made two string quilts and a "spool quilt." Now on to the mock cathedral window jeans quilt. When it is completed I will have pulled 50 pieces from my stash - a fat quarter or less and used them up. Managed to consolidate two drawers to one. The empty drawer quickly filled up with Star Wars fabric!
