I bought a lot of fabric before I retired (10 years ago) and just never found a use for it. It started because I love "I Spy" quilts and just kept adding to the collection. My sewing. room was so over crowded with bins of fabric that I finally gave it about 10 bins away. Bins were the size of copy paper boxes. My sister's quilt group loved it - the NLB and NFL fabrics were big hits and the Christmas fabrics made 500 stockings. I still have a lot of fabric that I couldn't part with, but I find a pattern, then decide on fabric.
