does PFD fabric on bolts count as stash? does backing fabric count as stash?

I saved scraps from all the projects I made for my family and started making them into quilts to get them used up....they seem to multiply instead of diminish .. I have gotten rid of large bags of small scraps..and now I read about scrap painting so I have little scraps sorted in colors in zip bags and will try doing that one of these days:) Seems like a picture of life.. God takes are little scrapes and turns them into some beautiful things..kinda interesting how it all works. if we turn things over to Him!

I don't keep everything either. If there isn't enough space on the fabric to do anything applique wise, or if the fabric is less than 1/2" it gets tossed.

Too funny! So glad you clarified when it is that you don't save it!

Quick guestimation is about 5 cubic yards.

I thought I had a lot! :) Wow.

Have not been to the fabric store in 18 months and haven't made a dent in the fabric I have.

I only have leftover scraps. I never buy fabric until I'm ready to start the quilt. I just don't want to end up with a huge stash of fabric. Too much clutter makes me jittery.

I wish I were like you. I could open my own store!

Right now, I don't buy much large pieces of fabrics, except for neutrals and fabrics that I can use as sashings for my scrappy quilts. I ma trying to use up the fabric that has been given to me, but no matter how many scrappy quilts I make, my pile of scraps never seems to get any smaller!
