Funny you should bring that up! I was organizing my very large stash, and while I love collecting fabric and it gives me pleasure just to look at it all, my friend rebuked me for having more fabric than I will ever use in my lifetime.
She had a point...and there are lots of patterns in my stash I probably won't use any longer as my aesthetic taste has changed, so I am going to do two things!
1. take all the yardage and make charity disappearing 9 patch quilts...I will just start cutting less beloved fabrics into squares for that kind of rainy day sewing.
2. convert all the scraps into "Terry blocks", to make the colourwash quilt in Terry Rowland's wonderful three part YouTube series!
