I too, love my stash. Though it does need a few "holes" filled, it helps me to be more creative in fabric choices. I have also better enjoyed scrappy quilts, and I really like samplers! I enjoy swapping blocks in the swaps here, and having quilty reminders of fellow QB friends as I look at the blocks in the quilt.

Thanks!

Me too Debbie C: actually I think I'm in stash overload! I know some of you are going to say 'wahhh' give it to me, I have too many projects started [over 25+] on one side and fabric sorted by color on the other side of my double size closet hiding behind the doors.....well, not always hiding cause I can't get the doors closed sometimes.

I agree. I am going "shopping" in my stash for the BOM I joined this month. The LQS is running the Tula Pink City Sampler as a BOM, but your choice of fabrics. So I bought a couple of remnants, but am mainly pulling from my stash. I knew it would come in handy!

I only have probably what equals to 7 fat qtrs at this point, so I REALLY need to build mine...especially in batiks. I have a stash for garments still, but it's really a pain to have to buy 1/4 yd pieces to make strips for a simple project. Quilters never believe that someone doesn't have a "stash", but you have to start somewhere!!!
