I got to the point where my stash was so big, yet I didn't always have enough fabrics that would match up to make a quilt. A few years ago, before a quilting vacation (where we were hitting several quilt shops) I matched up lots of fabric into bundles and for those bundles that needed more matching fabrics, I cut snips off and taped them in a small notebook that I took to the quilt shops with me. I figured I was going to buy fabric anyway, why not look for fabric that would go perfectly with fabrics I already had. It was so much fun shopping for "the perfect match" for my fabrics and when I got home, I filled out all those bundles. Now I am at the point where my stash is SOOOOO big that I've resolved not to buy any new fabric unless I absolutely had to have something to finish a project I am working on. And since January, I've solely been working on my UFOs, or at least I was until I was commissioned to make a quilt!!
