I have sooo much fabric I could open up a store!!! It is all in bins sorted by color and or theme on a shelf along with everything else that goes along with it. I have two big boxes just with scaps for applique. I have two big bins filled with velvet. and not to mention roll bolts of upolstry (sp) fabric. leather you name it. I'm addicted

Oh I forgot to mention my craft room!! Now that's another story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough fabric to fill metal shelves six feet tall and four feet wide. Here's one corner, along with "Mr. Helpful"!

I have been blessed with friends giving me some scraps. I am making paper pieced scrappy quilt. Also practicing on making blocks!

My husband has been unemployed since July 2009 so things have been rough for us. He just got a job so will be nice to have $ and Health Insurance again.

Congratulations!!! So many are out of work, it's scary. Having been unemployed, or under-employed in the past, I think my stash building is a defense mechanism. That, and being a very organized pack rat! It's like a squirrel storing nuts for the winter.

Well I was lucky enough to get some from http://freecycle.org in my area...so if we're counting in plastic tubs I have:

12 tubs of fabric separated by colors.

And I'm almost done with my scrappy quilt, hope to get the top done this weekend. :)

Not nearly enough. I am working on building my stash up. Right now I have enough do a few scrappies! I am getting married in July and can't wait until after to really start buying fabric :)

An online quilt store liquidated last year, and I was fortunate that she happened to be essentially in my back yard. I was able to go through things in person and ended up with quilt store quality fabrics for prices lower than Joann's.

It's not sorted by color, but I do have the holiday stuff together and the batiks together. Also, if I had a quilt planned, those fabrics are bagged together with the pattern.

Good question! I have no idea...a lot! I am trying to use it all up before my time on earth is through, but I keep buying more :lol: My hubby never complains about it and is always interested to see what I get in the mail! He cheers me on with my projects....I am one lucky lady. :wink:
I do save scraps, but I haven't taken the time to sort any of them. That can wait till I decide to do a scrap quilt!!
