I am slowly using up a lot of my stash. I am toying with the idea to donate some scraps and one of a kind blocks.

I'll just describe my "stash". LOL You know the pattern cabinets in the fabric stores? I have 8 of those in my sewing room, 7 with fabric, the 8th is full of pre-cuts, that I pre-cut. I also have fabrics on top of counters because there isn't room in the pattern cabinets.

My stash used to have a stash, but I think I've finally learned that there will always be more fabrics. Now I'm just trying to decide what to do with those favorites. Sometimes they're the hardest to put into a quilt, because they don't always play well with others.

I have a few Laurel Burch fabrics--one is of my favourite cat prints that was given to me by a friend. I just cannot figure out how to cut them up without losing their 'specialness'. I also have a couple of asian crane prints and a gorgeous flame red batik. They all speak to me.

I guess I don't have a stash of special stash material. There is nothing in my stash I won't cut up, but I do wait for the right pattern or coordinating fabric.

I have some French General that I am waiting for the right quilt pattern....I have been waiting now for several years.lol. It is so pretty and I am not sure I can cut it.

I have a different name for them. They are my pets!

I have some Ricky Tims hand-dyed fabric that I got when I went to one of his talks that I take out to pet occassionally.

I have a very large stash, most of which I “inherited”. Finally decided it was time to let some go. I cut enough to make 105 simple pillowcases to donate to a children’s shelter. Friends helped with the sewing part. Also collected enough $ to donate 190 pillows. Thanks to Kohl’s for a sale on pillows. My shelves are still well stocked. May make this a project for next year as well. Time to pay it forward!

JENNR8R, I have those same fabrics! I don't seem to have a problem cutting any of my stash fabricsexcept my Ricky Tims fabric. I even have them in a separate place so they won't accidentally get cut up.

Don't have a pic of it but it was a yard of a white fleece with glitter all over on 1 side. Finally found the perfect project for it this year. Making a quilt to go over my hall bench made up of 5 appliqued snowmen using Sweetpea's embroidery designs. I'm using the fleece for the body, scraps for the rest of the parts of the snowmen. Its been tough going due to having so many layers........stablizer, batting, full size piece for the background, then the fleece that has some sort of coating to keep the glitter from falling off, then you add scraps for the winter cap and scarf so in some areas there are 5 layers. Had to go to a size 16 needle to get the satin stitch to come out decent plus I decided to use metallic thread for the snowflakes. What was I thinking??? But I finally got to use this fabric after keeping it hidden for over 15 years.
