Currently trying to use what I have on hand ( although I drool over the new fabric lines daily!) I do a lot of scrap quilts and my friends are enablers in that when their scraps come to me, it feels like I have new fabrics. One of my quilting goals this year is to empty three big 40 gallon scrap bins and I'm halfway through one, thanks to friends helping by ironing, cutting, and sorting into useful strips lengths. I use old fabric a lot!
