I also have a stash that will last longer than I will. My sister is afraid I'll die before her though her health is terrible with lung issues from smoking 50+ years. Now she's paying for it. Anyway, about 5 years ago, I went thru my stash and pulled every fabric that just didn't click with me, sometimes I wondered why I bought it in the first place. Anyway, I filled 7 large paper grocery bags full of the fabrics, then went thru my larger scraps and made gallon size plastic bags and stuffed them to the gills. Gave all this to my local thrift shop as I know there are quilters within the staff which are mostly volunteers plus every 2 years they have a quilt auction. I might need to do this again as my stash is just not dwindling as I'd hoped for. I did give 4-5 yards to a new neighbor that is making wheelchair lap quilts. Plus I recently finished Elizabeth Hartman's Dinosaur quilt, large size plus used some of the scraps to make it wider to fit a toddler's bed. Now I'm working on a red/white optical illusion queen size bed quilt using what I have in my stash though most of the reds had been pulled years before. I did add 5 yards of whites though to go with it. I gave the scraps from this to my new neighbor also. I just wish it would look like my stash is dwindling somewhat. I still have a couple large totes with partial bolts hiding under the quilt frame yet.
Anyone I see at the thrift shop looking thru their stash I ask if they want to look thru mine and take some but so far no takers.
