@WMUTeach Thank you for your encouragement. I had the idea of a fade in fade out quilt. I got all the fabric and (foolishly) cut it into 2 inch squares. My fabric isn't the same as the quilt I was looking at making and I find it really difficult to make my fabric fit the fade in fade out. I'm so frustrated with it that I've given up. I think I can use a fair bit of the fabric in a "tiny tiles" quilt for my DIL instead. But I need to discuss the qhite fabrics to go with it with DH before I can start that project.
I bought some lovely new linen fabric in various colours (thankfully on 50% sale) for a table runner and placemats that I liked but my friends say it is too busy for my house. So I've abandoned that.
I am now looking at doing a very small wall hanging with bright colours - only 2 of which are in my stash so I'm off to the shop again! Luckily we have a good fabric shop I can buy 4 inch strip of fabric.
I think it is my procrastination and indecision that is the problem. Oh and - there's another bright shiny thing!

It only changes purpose. I know I have posted this comment before, but here I go again.
If you want to get rid of your fabric make something out of it! Go for the simple remembering that simple to one quilter is not the same for everyone.
You mentioned friends who are changing your mind. If they think your idea to use the fabric is not the best choice, ask them for what would be better, take one idea and run with it. I hope to see you showing off a beautiful quilt "all from stash" soon.
