All of a Sudden I Have a Stash And Multiple Projects!!
#22
I found myself doing the same thing so when I was reorganizing my sewing room I began to put "special to do projects" in clear plastic containers so that I could keep the collected fabrics and patterns together .. I believe I am up to 20 "to do" projects and have 4 projects I am actively working on... I tell myself that these projects are for the rainy day... you know when you are short on cash an need something to do...

Welcome to the club, I to have amassed a huge stash of fabric and lots of UFO's. I believe for the most part, it is part of the process of being a quilter. I do know a couple of quilters that are one project at a time. Maybe I will get there one day.

Yes, stash happens. And oh what fun!! Then you can make smaller projects, or perhaps try a scrappy quilt.
Bonnie Hunter's site: www.quiltville.com is a great place to find lots of fun scrappy patterns. Happy sewing!

Sometimes it happens when you're not looking. Several years ago I saw a gorgeous batik Boston Commons quilt from Heartbeat Quilts, so I've spent a few years collecting batik fabrics for that quilt. My son wanted an Egyptian quilt - so I bought all the fabric from Keepsake Quilting, got sidetracked with other things, then he got married and my DDIL wants a quilt in lavender and purples. Oh well, maybe I'll make that quilt and sell it for money to buy more fabric. LOL I still haven't finished the BOM I started on Craftsy, plus, I hate to say this, but I have 2 - yes two - BOM from 2007 and 2009 that have never seen the light of day - yet. Besides the fabric I purchased, I have had people give me fabric because they know I quilt, so sometimes the quilt stash reproduces when you're not looking.
