I love my stash too much!
I have realized that I don't like using my stash. I picked all the pieces so carefully I just like looking at it. I'm afraid to use it. I have been making ten minute table runners and I have found myself purchasing fabric instead of searching my stash.

I am the same. I rarely use anything from my stash. This year I forced myself to cut waaaaay back on purchasing fabric. I shopped from my stash. It feels good to use it once you get started. The empty places on the shelves are telling me to SHOP!

I hear you! I just keep telling myself that's what I bought it for. But sometimes I think that I have to find the perfect pattern that will do justice to that piece of fabric and that pattern just may not exist ;-)

If you don't use it, what is going to happen to it when you die?? I don't want my favorite fabrics to end up in some bin at a resale store marked at a price of pennies on the dollar. I want my favorite fabric to be cherished by someone in a quilt. I guess they could wrap you up in it when you die. I am making a quilt to be buried in. Just hope I can get it done it time. So many charities I have been working on lately taking precedence over mine. Maybe THAT will be my new year's resolution.

That's what I have been saying for years. Some people collect coins, some stamps, we collect fabric. having said that, some of the others are right, if you use it you can enhoy it in a quilt and a good excuse to buy more.

Just remember the large piece of fabric may be beautiful, but lonely for other fabrics to play with. Don't neglect the needs of your fabric to play.
Piece that beautiful fabric together and it will be even more beautiful. Trust your fabric!
