Love your stash of fabrics! I love to collect 1930's reproduction fabrics and have a good sized stash of them. I love "shopping" from them. I love scrappy quilts. Love the topper also! I need to make one for next year.

I usually buy 3 yards of any fabric on sale. 5 yards if I really love it and 9 yards if it will make great backing. I keep a lot of backing fabric of all colors and prints. That is where the money saving is, having a great supply of backing fabric.

I usually buy at least 5-6 yards. I have bought remnants in smaller amounts. Some fabrics I have bought at least three times. I like to be able to pick out of my stash. I would not be able to make many quilts if I had to go to the store each time.
I think you figured out why we want stashes. Looks like you are well on your way.

Love your topper and your stash! From looking at your stash I see that I need to shop for more greens - you have such a nice assortment of color. When buying fabric I try to determine what its end use could be. If it looks like a great backing fabric, I'll buy 2.5 yards (I only make square quilts, largest 52"); if it's a stripe that will make a great binding, I'll buy a yard - half of that will go to binding, the other half will be cut into charm squares. Last week I bought 6 yards of a great fabric that I'll use as backing for three quilts for boys - it was white with red, green, yellow and blue emergency vehicles on it. Can you tell I'm excited to use it? Isn't this fun?

Love your shelves and organized fabric. Stash is like jewels in a jewelry box !It is fun to play with, dream about it's use, and keeps you buzzy cutting strips and squares. It is especially nice at midnight when you want to create and the quilt shop is closed !!!! STASH! Love the sound of it.... Hugs

What a beautiful stash! A work of art! When I first started buying fabrics for my stash, I would get 1 yard when it was on sale, a half yard when it was not. I love the idea of fat quarters, but you wind up paying $12 to $15 a yard when you buy it that way. So, half yards it is.
