I really built my stash when a quilt shop a few towns over went out of business..could not resist $2.75 a yard for material. I will buy things I like when they are on sale. I have been really working on buying blenders because I have lots of fabric with patterns. I will probably not really need to buy any more material for several years! With the price of fabric going up, I may have to do what my great-grandmother did and cut up old clothes to make quilts with...good thing I love scrappy quilts!
