We would be set for 3 or 4 years fabric-wise. We have plenty of patterns and can always find free ones on the internet. I just placed a big order with Connecting Threads, so we have thread that we could use for piecing and quilting. I think we'd be short on batting. If I could figure out a way to weave cat hair into batting I'd be set for life! Hey! Why is this quilt wiggling in the middle?!

I'd find a way to keep going. I only have enough fabric for maybe two king-sized quilts, but I'd start getting creative. Curtains, clothes, shower curtains, sheets, upholstery,... who REALLY needs those anyway?! :)

:lol:

Well since I have never went and bought new fabric at a store
since quilting I would keep using used clothing and used blankets and sheets for backing , my only problem would be thread I have bought some and had some given to me by my daughter's mother in-law, maybe I'd try useing fishing line if i run out of thread..lol..it would work even if you had to hand stich it in right.. ;) My stash isn't every large as large goes, but with the fabric I do have I could put together more then a few quilts I think. :lol:

Oooh Pickles fishing line is a great idea.

Tossing fabric? My mom died leaving me her whole sewing room! I have triple the fabric now! I hope to use up everything! Hopefully I have at least 30 something yrs to go!!!! Have enough scissors to last forever! :XD:

I have no idea how long I could go or how many quilts I could make. I don't have any large pieces of fabric, mostly fat quarters, but lot's of them. I usually have to buy a background fabric, or sashing, and always backing, even if I don't buy new "main" fabrics. I also don't have any batting, except a couple of small pieces. I never have bought alot of patterns or notions, I can usually make do, and I like to create my own patterns. I have 5 rotary blades, and that is the most I have ever had at one time.

I could make enough quilts to last my lifetime and a few others, plenty of patterns, thread, batting, and still I feel the need to go shopping. What's wrong with that? I went shopping in my closet while my DD was here from IN. to visit and a small tote fell down and hit me in the forehead and now I have a black eye,lol! My DH says it's time to start using up my stash, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him unless I die before he does and he has to clean out my sewing room!!

Uhoh! Ice your eye dka!

Well, although they might have some very "interesting" color combinations towards the end, I could probably make... 50? Okay, maybe 75. But no more, as I would have to be carefully unravelling for thread to use, lol.
