How much fabric to you buy when you see a fabric you fall in love with? I'm always afraid to get it because I might not have enough when the time comes to us it. I'd love to hear your answers! Thanks!

This has become a "quilt addict hot line" but don't expect any support. We just enjoy in each others pleasure. I guess you can say we are all "enablers". But really, isn't it FUN!!!!!

Guilty, but it started out gradually and snuck up on me. I am additect, but that's OK, I'm in rehab now (no money on SS) and I'm very grateful for my stash.

With the price of fabric what it is now I'm "shopping" my stash. If I don't have the fabric I need I improvise. Has worked well so far.

I make most of my quilts from my stash, maybe adding background or a little something. That's what I love about my stash.
