My goal for 2017 is to only use from my stash. If it's not there, then I don't make that particular quilt. Even if I sewed a quilt top a week, I don't think I could use my stash before I die unless I live to be 100. So no more fabric purchases for me before December 2017. If I need batting or thread, I will purchase that, but no fabric.
Well, now I feel better, I am not the only one that has too much stash to use before I die, but I am determined to work at it. I don't want someone else enjoying the beautiful fabrics I chose, lol. Now if that doesn't sound selfish....but I will make up for it by making the quilts and giving them, does that work?
