Didn't someone here just mention she wanted ugly fabrics....lol.

I doubt I'll ever use all of mine, but right now I'm not buying anything new. I love the idea of making an entire quilt, including backing, (excluding batting) from my stash!! I feel almost like I made something for nothing!!

I've been de-stashing for a couple of years and now I have a lots of small projects stashed away for gifts. I have added about $300 worth of fabric to the stash. Stashes are great if you like scrappy projects.

I use a piece here and there, and I will cut up 14 inch squares and sew them together for an interesting back...my stash makes me smile.

My stash has finally reached a point where it has started producing. Lately I am finding that I may purchase one, two, perhaps three new fabrics for a proposed project, primarily for inspiration, the remainder of the choices come from my stash.
I have also been evaluvating my stash and most purchases have been to fill color voids. I have been adding more backgrond fabrics (was a huge void) and I just added the dreaded color, orange.
No drastic de-stashing here, only usage. It is my repsonsibility as a citizen to contribute to the revitalization of the economy and I take this responsibility very seriously.

I do lots of scrappy, but eliminating lots of yardage, and keeping FQs or 1/2 yds for color/tone needs, etc. instead of bigger pieces.
I now have a HUGE tote of strips and have cut thousands of triangles and squares and charm pieces.
Hope to finish this week....then let the sewing begin!
