Fabrics that no longer appeal to me often appeal to others, so they are donated to the two guilds I belong to. I am always pleasantly surprised by the quilts that other people make with those fabrics. Most of those quilts go to local children's charities, so all is good.
However, I must say that I quilt as an excuse to buy fabric, so have an extensive stash. There is just something so appealing to me about fabric...and I have no idea why. I guess it's the hidden potential in each piece of fabric.
My fabric gets used for quilts, backings, pillow cases and charity quilts. Currently making "gender neutral" pack and play mattresses for a local charity that provides clothes, school supplies, shoes, quilts and other stuff to children in foster care.
