I am not a brown fan so had practically nothing in my stash but sometimes you really do need some. Our guild had a sale of one of our member's collections and I bought her whole brown bin! Problem solved.

I had to chuckle a bit at this post after looking at the handle "LavenderBlue". :)

I have some of every color, actually a great deal more than some in most.

I had colors missing from my stash (mostly pink). I decided that i should add some of them to my stash to "round it out." What I discovered is that I don't use these hole fixers. So I have a bunch of fabrics now that I will likely donate someday in the not too distant future. I'd rather donate them as quilts, but I don't see myself ever finding a place for them.

So learn from me. If you think the "holes" in your stash need to be fixed, think twice about the reason the holes exist at all.

I find the most "holes" are the fabric stash I use all the time and have to replace often. I think that when you start a project is when you have to go on a shopping trip, not before just to have it on hand.

That being said, I have a bulging stash out of control because of the fabric store going out of business sales.

My stash was mostly bright, cheerful colors with a lot of pastels also - absolutely no dark colors. So, I inherited my BFF's very large stash when she passed away and there are only dark, drab colors - so now, I have it all. She worked at a quilt shop and was "paid" with fabric but always chose the dark, jewel tones.

Yellow, orange, red, and green.

Not too much red or brown but I am looking to add those. I really need more solids I seem to have a ton of prints but I have most other colors.
