Does this mean that if there are no matching fabrics in your vast stash of fabrics, you can't make that specific quilt??? I notice that no matter how much fabric I have (not quite as many but close to the amount of bins that you have, I always seem to find a reason why I need to buy MORE) and usually it's because nothing in my stash will match perfectly. What a great excuse!!! :)

The above is my resolution for 2011! I plan to stick to it. [NOTE: I have over 16 plastic tubs of material and don't seem to be able to put a dent in it.]
But recession or no, I am going to the fabric store only for supplies (I am down to my last bottle of spray adhesive!) not material.
Anyone else willing to take the pledge!???
BTW -- yesterday I was crazy enough to ask my husband (outloud, mind you) :? if we could go to Fabric Depot so that I could fondle some material. The look I got from him was startling! What was I thinking! LOL

Wish I had to make this resolution. I just started quilting and have no stash. Just a few remnants from the 2 quilts I've made. We're on such a tight budget that when I go to the store to see what's on sale...I don't know where to start. I keep thinking that if I buy just to buy but don't have something specifically in mind...then it wouldn't really be saving money. I don't want the fabric just to sit there. I know this may sound silly but I really need help knowing how to start a stash without having an exact project in mind. Help!
