Here are a few pictures of quilts that i have made from my fabric stash.. I am determined to not buy any more fabric until i have used up what i have...

Love your stash and love what you did with it!

"until i have used up what i have..."
hee hee -- anyone want to join a lottery to see how long she lasts without buying fabric? (All in fun, Pam!)

Or ... I wish I had a dollar for every time I said the same thing.

you must have great will power - good luck!

Very nice

I recently whipped up 11 quilts solely from my stash. Theoretically I could make about 300 more from there.....

I understand entirely. I am absolutely sure I could make a minimum of 300 from my stash, not to mention the two hundred I could make from my already ironed and sorted scraps.

Quilting, isn't it a wonderful hobby? I just love it.

Nice job of using stash and still looking fine!!!!!

Well done. They are beautiful.

they came out wonderful!

Just when the dread, shame of having a large stash, the DH says "Get it"-he's my enabler ("Most often the term enabler is associated with people who allow loved ones to behave in ways that are destructive. For example,... ;)

Hello and welcome! Great work, pam. I'd love to see bigger pics, especially of the middle one... :D

Re not buying, I love what you are doing. I've just taken a smaller step in the same direction - joined the fabric moratorium on this board. Meaning I ommitted to buy no fabric for a year, unless I need a fabric specifically to complete a project I've started and don't have anything suitable in my stash. Doesn't it feel good to work what's already in the house! :thumbup:

Welcome again, and looking forward to seeing lots more pics from you in time! :D:D:D

Very nice, and good for you. I know that I personally couldn't do it tho...

I made 6 Quilts this year from my scraps. The pile has gone down quite a bit and I am still working on the pile of scraps. A Bargello quilt is good for using scraps.

Lovely quilts and well done for using your stash, but didn't you know those scraps breed during the night!! However much you use you finish up with another bag/box of scraps!!!

Beautiful quilts :D:D:D

I'm trying the same thing. So far, so good!

Wow, you certainly have a lovely stash and make a great quilt too.

Very pretty.

I said that I would'nt buy any more fabric until I used up what I have. Well you know how that goes. I'm back buying fabric, so I have even more than I had before.

wow great stash

I collected a box of denim from my kids' clothes, etc. After I made 2 quilts, I had more left than I started with!!! I guess denim is one of those that breeds at night!!

I admire you for wanting to use up your stash. Think what fun you'll have choosing more when it's gone :lol:

Thanks, hope this turns out bigger, I can't find my original and am trying to take them off my website

That is gorgeous! I love it!

Beautiful quilts...love the hearts. I too am having a moratorium, but only on florals (I have a lot). Thanks for sharing your beautiful stashbusters.

Nice quilts. I wish I had the willpower to use just my stash. If I start sewing now... I would need at least four... maybe five lifetimes to sew up may stash. Maybe, I shoud find some will power

Me, too! It is really hard not to buy fabric, though! I went into Joanns on Sunday to buy some batting and the fabric seemed really thin, so that was not hard not to buy any there!!!

We only have one fabric store here in town and it is expensive so that helps. I have to travel 75 miles to get to the good ones.

Good for you! They are beautiful, and all with stash materials? I've made the same commitment to buy no more fabric until I've used a lot of what I have, but I sit and look at my fabric uninspired....nothing seems to "go" together just right. I may need to make a trip to the store.....poor me (haha).

What do you guys do with the quilts you "whipped up"? (I'm still at the stage where the only thing "whipped up" at the end of a sewing session is me because all my points are off!) 11 quilts is a lot of quilts. Do they go to charity? Family members?

Beautiful.

awesome quilts

I love alll the scrappy quilts and I too have enough stach to make quite a few. I like the string ones.

You did a great job! Beautiful :)

Count me in...heheheheheh

Oh, how I wish I had your willpower! Your quilts are beautiful!

My New Year's resolution every year is the same.Maybe this time I will be strong like you

You have more will power than I do, although my next few quilts will be from my stash. Hubby said no more material. If only he knew how hard that is.

Great job Pam, and I wish I could use mine up It will take me Years to use up what I already have.

So what year will that be that you get to go fabric shopping? lol

like you I need to reduce my stash . trouble is the sales are in january!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Silly girl!
