Thanks, Lena1952. I have been at this for a while and have a clear goal to leave minimal unused fabric behind when I leave this world. So I keep focused, determined to create warmth and beauty and keep stash busting with every quilt I make. With the price of fabric, I use what is on hand first. Then fill in what is needed generally from local shops or a regional chain shop that feels like a local shop.
Final word..........don't give up on your effort to shop from you own already special curated selection of fabrics, our stash.
