I am with you, except I am getting fed up with all the quilts I have around the house, I have been giving them as gift, to my daughters, my coworkers and charity, I am sure people are avoiding me because they are afraid I will give them a quilt, I quit my guild because they moved too far away, and I avoid driving at night if I can. I am trying to finish all my UFO's and then???? Thanks for letting me vent.

I resist fq , too. They are expensive and I always am sure that I will need more than they offer.

The fat quarter towers are a good value. It has every fabric in that line. Usually one tower is more then enough for a large quilt. They go on sale all the time.

When you get "fed up" with all you have, just remember that in the big picture, a lot of people don't know anyone with an actual "homemade" or "individually made" quilt. So, just keep on gifting them!

I have decided that I'm going to start making some animal quilts for my local Humane Society. I contacted them yesterday, to find out what size they want, and they said that 10 by 15 inches would be great for the cat cages. I thought that would be a perfect size to practice my FMQ skills, and sewing binding on by machine (I hate hand sewing) and I could use up all my "ugly", "Why did I buy that?" type of fabric. The cats won't care what it looks like or what color it is, and the size is small enough that I can make them quickly.
But I need to start using up some of the fabric I have been buying since I started quilting.

I also am not buying any more fabric unless I need it for a specific project, and it is a project that I have already started or will be starting as soon as I get the fabric for it... no more... "I love it, I don't know what I will do with it, but I have to have it" fabrics for me.

I don't have much of a stash, a couple of FQ collections, but it's not what I need. I'll hold onto them until I need them...but why does my fabric have to be Hoffman, Kaufman, Dewberry, Fabric Traditions, etc? I wish I could break my mold. I don't buy fabric unless it's for a specific project. i do have a few 'Jelly rolls around as well.

I don't really see the appeal of fat quarters. I know the idea behind them but if I want a sm pc of fabric I'd rather buy a half yd. Maybe that's why I have so much fabric but I don't care for the price of fat quarters
