Without trying, I have accumulated a large stash. Back in the day when I was buying, I always bought just a little bit extra "just in case". My friend and I cleaned out an estate sale for a super quilter and another friend who was a super quilter herself just emptied boxes into my car when she had to move. I enjoy working with scraps but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to the point it stifles creativity. I'm praying that I die before my friend who will then swoop in to grab the stash and run!!
