I have realized that what I am missing are solids and small tone on tones. I just came to this realization yesterday when I decided that I was going to try and make a quilt entirely from stash. I have a lot of stash- not as much as many of you but enough- so I thought - why don't I have solids and tone on tones? And I concluded that it's because "they aren't fun to buy". So, I'm going to force myself to concentrate on adding these items to my stash. What about you?

Money!

Money is right, and a Long Arm machine.

Time, money, and yellows - I really don't like yellows, but I need them for balance!

I don't buy solids and I don't buy blue unless it's for sky or water. I also don't buy any reproduction fabrics from any era. I don't consider these things missing though.

I hear ya, money is definately missing in my stash!!

I dont have a lot of tone on tone or solids either. But I don't really feel the need to add them. There are too many shades of colors. I find that I like big prints. And just prints in general :) So when I want a tone on tone to go with it I would rather buy however much I need of exactly the right color. With my like I would buy 10 shades of green and when I went to make something from my stash, I still wouldn't have the right shade of green. For me it works to just buy them as I go.

What is missing I buy as needed. I don't see any need in stockpiling colors or styles that I don't care for. If I need them I buy for the quilt. Works for me:)

What's missing? The ONE fabric I need in the correct amount...especially after hours!

Seriously, whites, creams, oranges & purples.

I'm missing pink (my least favorite color, but unfortunely two of my sisters favorites!) and whites and light tans. I seem to use them up when I do find them!
