OK, please post photos. I/we would love to see your work.
I have not been shopping but for little snips and dabs that are needed to finish something already started. Example I purchased 3 half-yard cuts of a soft orange to complete a quilt. I have increased my stash because of folks giving up quilting or finding free fabric that fills a hole in my color choices. Trying to avoid those give away tables but.... you know how they can call to you. I primarily look for cuts large enough to become a back. That often solves my problem. I did gave away 12 yards this week when I put stash on the give away table which helps decrease my stash. I am quite sure I have sent more out that what I have brought in.
