I saq a link which showed a lady's control of her stash by cutting into different sized strips and then storing them in plastic containers (drawers. My computer's ink supply was running low and I did not run off a hard copy. Could you please direct me to that link again. I went to the store and got new ink but I can't find the link. Thank you for your help.

I think quilting, like any hobby, we tend to keep our eyes out for something new, or different that we don't have. or forgot we have.
I did it yrs ago,when I was into designing/decoration stationery and greeting cards. Every time I went to town I can home with more supplies. plus new art/design books.
My daughter says she did the same with scrapbooking and now with jewlery making. Later we wonder why we bought so much.
I figure when I am home working on my hobbies I am not out spending money or gambling or such, which can run into money too.
PS no I will never use up my stash, but have fun trying.

I will never use my stash. And I probably would have saved lots of money in the long run if I had just bought fabrics for individual projects. But I get a huge thrill of digging through my stash and finding just the right fabric for a project, or finding something different than what is out there now for sale. My stash goes back 30 years and I find lots of gems at the bottom of some of my containers. Sweet!!
