You have got a real nice stash going on! I hear you will use these up faster than you know. All those colors are lavish, bright & pretty, Have to show us what you make out of these soon.

You have a nice variety in colors, the only thing I would suggest is to add a wider variety of prints and patterns, like florals, stripes, plaids, larger prints, geometric prints, etc. As for the yardage, it depends on your circumstances (how much you can store, move with you, etc.) and what size and type of quilts you like to make and what you can afford. For me, I love scrappy quilts and I had limited funds so I bought 1 yard pieces or even half yard pieces. I decided I would rather have a large selection of small amounts of fabrics instead of a small quantity of larger pieces. Although when I saw a fabric that I just fell in love with or a wonderful border fabric, I'd buy 3 yards. And when I came across muslin for 21 cents a yard, I took all they had!!

You have a great stash. I usually buy fat quarter bundles, that way I get a piece of everything in the collection, love aunt grace and civil war fabric. When I see something I can't live without, I usually buy 3 yards. Keep up the good work :)

Nice start to a good stash. I am drooling on the black and white print. When i see a fabric i love i buy 3 yards, if i like it 1-2 yards and if i need some for the stash or just having withdrawals :) i get a FQ

You have some beautiful colors & a good start on your "stash". I'm sure your space is limited with being in a medical barracks, so right now less is more! It takes time to build up a stash like some of the pics that have been posted. Nothing happens overnight, unless we hit the lottery, right?

You have some great colors. You are off to a great start.
