    Default A vicious cycle!!! Do you ever make more room?

    All of my storage space is full of fabric. As I use it, I replace that space with tops. As I finish them, I replace them with quilts. When I sell a quilt or give it as a gift, I buy more fabric. Does anyoneelse have this problem? Please tell me I'm not alone.

    Doesn't seem to me that you have a problem... You are using your stash and using that space it filled with a completed quilt. Or maybe that will be a problem... Soon you won't have room for more fabric. You will only have completed quilts.

    Works for me! It's only a problem when you stack it up the walls and call it insulation.

    I move my quilts out pretty quick. I am either making them as gifts or I donate them. When I try a new pattern it usually becomes a donation. I keep my space available for more fabric! I need to sew more to keep it moving!

    I am worse. I just keep buying more and more. I hardly ever finish a quilt or get rid of any stash.

    I don't think you have a problem at all. It sounds perfectly normal to me. At least that's what happens at my house.

    I was told that if the piles kept moving it was good. Sounds to me like you are moving from unfinished to finished and adding more to begin again. Sounds perfect!
