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.

Well I was lucky enough to get some from http://freecycle.org in my area...so if we're counting in plastic tubs I have:
12 tubs of fabric separated by colors.
And I'm almost done with my scrappy quilt, hope to get the top done this weekend. :)

An online quilt store liquidated last year, and I was fortunate that she happened to be essentially in my back yard. I was able to go through things in person and ended up with quilt store quality fabrics for prices lower than Joann's.

It's not sorted by color, but I do have the holiday stuff together and the batiks together. Also, if I had a quilt planned, those fabrics are bagged together with the pattern.

Good question! I have no idea...a lot! I am trying to use it all up before my time on earth is through, but I keep buying more :lol: My hubby never complains about it and is always interested to see what I get in the mail! He cheers me on with my projects....I am one lucky lady. :wink:
I do save scraps, but I haven't taken the time to sort any of them. That can wait till I decide to do a scrap quilt!!
