I just love pretty fabric and no matter how much I have, if I see another that strikes my fancy I will buy it. I need at least another hundred years to work up all I have.

I have about what you have and with the current fabric market they it is , I am glad. There is some High-end names printing fabric that I would not buy...much like the walmart/joanns/hancocks fabrics...THIN...I am glad I have the stash I have along with the 30 queen size "kits" I have already put together!

For those of you who like to buy kits, where do you get them? I love kits and have several from keepsake quilting and connecting threads. Any other wonderful sources for kits I am missing?

aint that the truth....in doing a recent swap of blocks, I discovered that though I love blue, I apparently only love BATIKS in blue, all my other fabrics were greens, reds, oranges, everything but blues....so I had to go shopping....sigh... :lol:

Too much stuff makes me paralysed. Can't deal with it. Just go out and get what I want and ignore what I already have. Guess that's what makes an enormous stash.

I have a small cabinet and a couple of totes with fabric in it. Sounds like you will have lots to choose from when you have time to sew.

Nana Jan - love your avatar. I have a bunch of fabric too & recently pulled all I could out of stash of cotton fabric for fire victim quilts and then put stuff right back in those shelves so you can't really tell where I pulled it from (LOL). I don't have or didn't have nearly as much as some have but I recently bought a little over 110 yards for backing for quilts for fire victims. I only paid $2 at a LQS for fabric the lady who bought this store was clearing out for new material & what a blessing it was to us! I don't have kits (nor have I purchased kits) but do have material set aside for 3 personal quilts I have commited to, plus my Christmas fabric that I gather at the end of each year so I have my choice of fabric to make Christmas stockings.... It's wonderful to hear that we all "enjoy" our fabric.
