I don't believe I have ever heard of such a thing as enough fabric. I was going to donate some fabric to the Salvation Army but then yesterday I found a pattern here,Indian Hatchet, and took the fabric back out of the bag. Never to much. I am lucky, hubby encourages me to keep buying it.

I am still building my stash, 2 full totes and more, so I don't have the answer to that question, or if there is an answer?
My neighbor has @25-30 totes in her attic, heehee, sometimes I shop there :)

There is NEVER enough fabric!!!! It's an addiction!

I agree, NO WAY!

After I posted I came across a plastic box FULL of leftover prints from he lae 50's and early 60's. Not big pieces, but certainly enough to make two inch squares for some sort of Irish Chain or similar.

This is possible??!!! I don't THINK so, LOL! Some days I wander into my LQS just to "look". (Yeah, right!)

went to wal-mart yesterday. need some new black dress pants for work. saw some fabric- put the pants back. only had $30 to spend. came home and DD says- you didn't need that!

(but I did need it, honestly, it will match a bunch of other stuff I have)

I've come pretty far- for me to pass up clothes for fabric---- cool, the diva has died and come back as a quilter.

Yes, fabric IS an addiction.

But...

...you know you have enough fabric when... it turns into a business! Unintentionally. (Yikes! What have I done??)

But personally, for me, I realized I had enough when it was sufficient to simply have it pass through my hands for a little while... I no longer have to permanently own it.

That was hard, in the beginning though, to see my very *favorite* selections all "go away". But in the end... saying goodbye to them means that you get to have more fun, because you get to buy more. (Isn't that what it's all about for some of us? Playing with color and texture and pattern, combining and re-combining?)

Don't get me wrong... there's a whole LOT more to running a fabric business than just choosing the next fabric collection. (Most of the tasks are much less fun...)

My stash is out of control. I'm considering selling a lot of it at an upcoming yard sale. There is just too much to deal with and it's taking over my craft room... I've come upon a lot of stuff - sadly a lot it I really don't like at all - so that stuff needs to just go away. It will free up sooooo much space! I actually have a few boxes of fabric that aren't even sorted - my mother has gotten me several garbage bags full of fabric at the rummage sale she volunteers at... I've made out like a bandit at $20 for a big black bag full of material but her tastes are quite a bit different than mine... so in the end I'm stuck with a lot of stuff that I look at and wonder what on earth??!!!!

I'm thinking that kaleidoscopes would be a great way to unload a lot of the stuff I don't want. I have some weird stuff - hunters on horses with dogs... duck panels... pheasants... western material. just all sorts of stuff that I don't see ever using!! I even have USA hockey material - and I don't even like sports! That one will make a great charity quilt for the cancer ward this year. Some teen age boy will love it I'm sure.....

Oh my goodness Pam, I say the same thing!!!!! :lol: :lol: I tell my quilting buddy that ALL the time. Hey whatever works right??
