You all crack me up about your fabric addition. Golly, we quilters are quite a bunch and I love it knowing I'm not alone. My home is also small,2 bedrms- mbedrm/bath, second br is sewing romm w/shelves in closet for fabric (loaded). Retired, collected fabric 3/4 yrs while we camper traveled. Quilt shops are so fun. Now I make quilts for gkids (hs grad for college). I enjoy making whatever fabric I have work. Havent bought any fabric since except maybe some muslin. Love being in my sewing room working because its the only place in the world I have complete control.

I do not feel obligated to keep and use every piece of fabric that I have purchased in the last 20 years. I quilt because it makes me happy, not to be tortured.
I say all of this to say, if you don't want it or like it, get rid of it. No Guilt!!! Donate to charity, guilds, schools or quilters that are having financial difficulties at this time. Donations are tax deductible and Paying It Forward makes you feel good.
Make it a Feel-Good Day!

When I purchase a piece of fabric only to find I already have some at home I just say,"Well I know that I still like it really,really alot." I tell hubby that what I had must have been in the stash I inherited from my mom. :roll:
