    Not sure how much fabric I have but it is lots. My daughter tells me that when she needs some fabric she's coming to shop at my house because I have as much fabric as Wal-Mart. So...guess I have quite a bit.

    well I figured out once that I used about 15 yards to make a queen size log cabin quilt, so you have enough to maKE ABOUT 33 QUEEN size quilts, wall quilt 1/4 of that so have enough to make about 133 wall quilts! And thats if you make log cabin, and have one inch finished logs.

    Wow, I might have ten yds in my stash. To have half that much would be heaven. Have fun putting it all together.

    Probably should start thinking of willing some to anyone that likes to sew or quilt . . . just like me! LH had a sewing suite added to our home and still need more room. Only thing is we sure can have fun trying to use it all. Ha! Ha!

    I have no idea how many yards of fabric I have but my husband has started to observe that my sewing room is starting to look like a fabric shop. The past 2 weeks I have been organizing my mess. I didn't come across anything that I didn't know I had but I was surprised at how much I have accumulated.
