Well, probably more than I need to have. However, not all my stash is quilting related. I have bolts and bolts of denim that I bought any time a store was going out of business. All different weights of it. Then there is a tote full of flannel, a tote full of fat qtrs, and several boxes full of calico, and scrap boxes. I have a couple of bolts of microfiber faux suede, and goodness probably other stuff I've forgotten about... Don't have any more room at present time, gotta use up what I have before I buy any more.

Do you have it all organized by colors, sizes etc.
Do you save your scraps?

I have been blessed with friends giving me some scraps. I am making paper pieced scrappy quilt. Also practicing on making blocks!
My husband has been unemployed since July 2009 so things have been rough for us. He just got a job so will be nice to have $ and Health Insurance again.

PS, I am grateful to have my stash to work with. I look forward to the day I can start building it up again.

Wow you guys sure have lots of fabric. How do you afford all that? My stash could fit into one carboard box if I moved. I'd loooove to have more, but it's not in the budget. (And I learned my lesson on not getting the cheapest fabric you can find when I made a pillowtop out of $1/yd Walmart fabric. Yikes!)
Mine would fit in a box too. Right now I'm working on a tshirt quilt with a fleece backing, so I have lots of fleece. Not counting that I have enough to fill a small tote. Have lots of projects in mind, just need the funds and fabric to go with!
