Wow what an awesome thought. Although I don't have nearly the space some of you appear to have for fabric. I would still have a good time sewing up what I have. Good topic.

I would not live long enough with all the fabric i have.

If my husband heard me say that I couldn't live long enough to use my fabric up, he would ask why do I keep buying more! LOL

Oh my gosh. I have projects sitting around in boxes where I have everything I need to make a quilt, table runner, or wall hanging--maybe 10 of those. And then I still have fabric in my stash--maybe 100 yards? I started feeling overwhelmed by it and so I stopped buying fabric unless it is for something specific. AND, I give away a free fat quarter every Friday on my blog in an effort to pare it down. It's downright embarrassing how much fabric I've accumulated.

Like Fabaddict, I too am fortunate enough to spend any amount of time during any day in my sewing room. DH loves his periodicals, sports and weather tv channels with a regular nap, so he would not miss me until suppertime. My stash has grown from one room into another three times and DH occasionally says "Do you know you have fabric in here?!" How many could I make, probably more than 200, but like others, I would run out of batting. Nevertheless, I could get creative and use flannel instead--maybe even double-up a couple sheets for batting. lol Years ago my MIL used an old bed blanket for a quilt for our son and sure enough, it is still hanging in there with memories and warmth.

More than I can do in my remaining lifetime. Last count of inventory was 200+ projects, all bought except batting. All sizes: bed quilts, lap quilts, wall quilts , table quilts, and holiday quilts. And I cannot part with any, I really ,really like them all. INSANE!!!

This is the best addiction! I love all of my fabric, and I have plans in my head for all of the fabric I have!I keep telling myself, one of these days..........

i wish i had a stash, when i moved i had to get rid of everything, so i'm starting from scratch. since i'm on disability, i don't have a stash, i buy what i need and sometimes have a few inches left over.

Susan, this is a great topic. I enjoyed reading all the replies. I de-cluttered last year after 20 years plus of buying/hoarding fabric. I bought emergency fabric only and donated lots of fabric to schools, etc. I am starting anew and enjoying it. I have enough fabric for 3/4 quilts.

I de-cluttered last year and gave most of my stash(that I could part with) to my daughter when she bought her home. I have enough batting for two quilts and fabric for abot 10 quilts. I have a friend that makes one quilt at a time and does not have a stash nor does she keep the scraps. Different strokes....
