If you really need to know then I would.......take yardage, not pieces, and weigh enough to get one (1) pound. It will be about 3yds. Then weigh all your fabric and divide by the number yardage in a pound. That is the way we did it for one company who sold their design studio fabric to an Amish quilt shop. The studio had yardage of all fabric they printed.

in my husband's eyes, I have too much! Compared to pictures of other's quilting studios, they could open a store. I am on a very fixed income (I am a stage 3 Melanoma survivor) so I never turn down an offer of fabric, since I can choose to have insurance, cell phone and gas in my car, or I can buy fabric. It's a good thing I am a Bonnie Hunter fan and LOVE scrappy quilts

I’m guessing about 200 yards of quilting cotton in yardage and fat quarters. 50 to 100 yards of quilting cotton in my store bought and homemade precuts. 200 or so yards in home dec., upholstery, and misc. fabrics that were given to me, maybe 50 yards of silk leftover from used silk saris that were cut up to make curtains... rough guess— 500-600 yards—. Good thing I’m on the fabric moratorium

You really don't need to know. LOL! But just in case you are curious, it's a fun project to tackle. It's nice to see everything folded and stacked in one place.

Last year, I measured, ruler and folder and tagged all yardage. Then each stack was totaled to a final count. I wanted to calculate just for insurance purposes in case of the big one. It's a different number today of course with adding and subtracting but still a general measurement of what the fabric shelf holds.

I also recorded all the jelly-rolls in a spread sheet and still need to do the layer cakes, etc.

I probably have too much until I can't find a color I need for something

I have more, much more, than I need or ever will be able to use up. However, I enjoy having it, use it and make lots of nice item-most of which I give away. It keeps me out of other people's business and off the streets. We live modestly, have no debt of any kind and have some savings in the bank. So, I just enjoy my hobby to the fullest. When I die, someone else can enjoy it. Now, it's my time to enjoy it.

My sister, who doesn't sew was floored at my stash and wondered why I had so much. I told her it's like an artist having only one or two paints and then trying to paint a picture. Then she understood.
My stash isn't huge though. I've gotten rid of a lot that I know I won't use. I have plenty for my wants and needs. I get overwhelmed with too much stuff.

I have no desire to find out! What I do know is it continues to grow!!!!

I love my stash and it makes me very happy to play with my fabric. The only thing I dislike is having to put it back away after I've pulled out huge stack trying to decide what fabrics I want to use.
