If you couldn't buy anymore------
#52
Just bought a roll of batting, so I guess I could make 13 or 14 quilts until that ran out, but the truth is... I would be able to make maybe 150 quilts from my stash. The last fifty or so would be a mish mash of color schemes but they wouldn't be scrappy... there's another 25 of those kind lurking in my room!

OK can someone explain to me why I keep spending money!!!! :shock: :lol: :lol: Please don't let DH know!!!! He already thinks I have enough!!! :roll:

My one big piece of fabric is 2 yards I just bought for sashing on my farm exchage blocks. If I can only work with that, I guess I'll have to start cutting up the bed sheets!!
