I am having a friendly discussion with my wife and I am hoping you can answer this one for us. I don't want to mislead or guide you to my answer or hers. So besides that big fabric stash, what is the most collected items quilters accumulate?

Thanks,
Harry

Gadgets to make quilting easier or more perfect, such as 1/4 inch foot, stitch in the ditch foot, rotary cutters, etc. Our ancestors turned out some gorgeous and/or useful creations without those. I think my grandmother used her templates, a pair of scissors and a needle and thread.

The most of anything I have is Scissors. Can never find them, so I have several or more of the same pair, stashed all over the house. Found them all once :) Afer scissors its Rotary cutters for the same reason.

Besides fabric, I would say that I seem to collect quilt books and magazines.
