When I first started making quilts, about 10 years ago, I was gifted a pickup truck load of fabric and a car load of fabric. I gave a lot away. Still have way too much. More recently, a friend's mom passed away and I was given a lot of the fabric she had. At this point, I seldom, if ever, buy fabric. I am slowly but surely whittling away at what I have. About the only thing I have bought since acquiring all that fabric, for which I am extremely grateful, is white fabric. More recently, I have been discarding some, passing it on to the thrift store or giving to friends. It can be very overwhelming.
