We will be leaving for Arizona in about 4 weeks so yesterday I started going through my stash to leave behind anything I won't work on for the next 6 months. I created two piles to donate yesterday, one for the group I quilt with and one of poly-cottons and uglies that was given to me. But it can be difficult. Do you have any uglies? Most of us have so much fabric why keep anything that you don't think is pretty. There is always some who will be happy to take your donation. I know of one group that donates their scraps to one member that apparently could not afford to quilt otherwise. I like bits so I have had some donated to me and it was fun. I made a crumb quilt with only a couple of pieces from my own stash and I have donated the rest of it to others. I am trying!!! not to buy more fabric. As some one mentioned Priorities. What do you like to work with? Do you like scraps and scrappy quilts? Perhaps the best advice is from Tartan, "Sew Faster".
