when I buy for a project I usually will purchase about an 1/4 yd more--just "in case"--shrinkage, mistakes, etc. Overtime you end up with lots of extras! Plus if I see a gorgeous, must have fabric I usually will buy 3 yrd. All that, added to those saved cutting scraps soon builds a stash.

we revamped my quilt room a while back and I purged some fabrics...so now when it gets overwhelming I just weed out some fabrics....give them to charity or a friend that I know would like it...happy quilting !!!!!!!!!!!

It is an addiction. But, for me it has gotten me through some rough times. Quilting is something I watched my grandmother do, who is now gone and I have wonderful memories of her from all the quilts she used make. I will try not to buy for awhile and work on finishing UFO's. Then I stack them up again. Therapy!!! Have fun and give the ones away you will never use.

I too started collecting carnival glass. went to auctions and enjoyed. I got my first singer 15 for $20 years ago and still have it. I guess it is easier to store fabric than more glassware. 😊

I am in the "saving up for retirement" catagory LOL! Currently at Shipshewana for the quilt show and the temptation is HUGE as there are many, many places to shop in this area.
