How big for stash fabric?
#14
You stopped drooling? I'm still drooling over that stash. Oh my, I wish I had the resources to put something like that together. I'd say at least a yard but if its on sale and you like it, buy 3-4. I've bought over 10 yards of a fabric I like because I keep coming up with new ideas I want to try with that specific print. Also, you never know if you'll be able to get more later on.

When I first started quilting I mostly bought quarter yards. In a few years I found that I had lots of variety, but not very much of any one thing. Three years ago I made a decision. 2 yards at least, unless I am in love with it, in which case it could be 3 or 4.

I was buying 1 yard, but when prices went up, I started getting half yards. Then I noticed that I had been buying mostly dark colors, so I started buying 2 yards of the lighter colors. Sometimes I get larger pieces. I see the wisdom in that for borders and backing.
