Speaking of large stashes, I've used a lot of fabric and not made much of a dent.
My stash is serving me well for Christmas. So far 20 blankets (yes blankets, no batting used) made by putting two pieces of fabric together and wrapping the back to the front for binding. I'm using fleece, wool, any type of heavy or fake fur for one side and a softer flannel for the other. I'm just tacking them together by machine. So far so good. There's more to be made. I am clearing out pieces I thought I'd never use. They have turned out really cute and are lap size. It's really interesting how fun this has become and I'm so happy to have that stuff off the shelf!
