I buy black by the bolt, and several bolts of PFD fabric for dying, do not care for red in most of my quilts unless it is just a red and white quilt, can't think of any other colors I do not have, and if I don't have and need it I just go to my play house and dye it, LOL

MSQC had a Coffee colored charm pack or layer cake. I wish I would have bought it when it was the daily deal. But I'm dealing with financial reality right now.

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.

LOL! TeresaA, you prove we are all wonderfully different! I noticed that I had no oranges and quickly set to work rectifying that. Now I am having to replenish orange all the time because I fell in love with it and kept using it in everything!
I have used four bolts of Kona black in 4 years and never used it for backing! Now you are all probably thinking I am doing lots of Halloween quilts. In fact, I haven't made a single one.

I don't really "stash". I buy as wanted/needed. Project specific.

I guess when I get home from "up north" I will have to check. Have been making blocks out of a bag of "leftovers"while in our RV. Need to check and see if something will tie them together. I usually have to buy whites.

I have fat quarters in ever shade under the sun....way too many fat quarters! Need to find good homes for some of them before they secretly start to multiply. No joke here!!

It is strange, I think I have every color. Then I go to make something and guess what? The color I need is missing. What will I do. I think when I moved I got rid of too much of my stash. (My husband does not think so.) I guess I need something. I know I have loads of reds, greens, blues, etc. but missing what I need.
