I think this is a good idea, people tell me too often that what is in their stash often does not fit in with what they want ---AND-- if anyone has had to deal with a deceased's stash that had been left to a chosen person to deal with but in reality it was destined for the skip, I took it , 4 huge volvo estate loads and sold it for dog rescue.
SO ,those of you that have them ,which I assume is the majority, PLEASE PLEASE make sure that someone will efficiently deal with it when you can't!!!!!!!

One thing that I have found that even though I have a large stash most of the pieces of fabric are only a yard or smaller. I have a few that are larger. The problem comes when I need a backing or sometimes a border. Unless I do alot of piecing then I always have to go out shopping for the backing. So now I am keeping my eye out for fabrics when on sale that will make a good backing .

As the mother of a single son and a husband who doesn't understand, I have told my quilting buddies that if I die before either my husband or my son while living in my current home, they need to get to my quilting room and take what they want and take care of the rest.

I mostly have fabrics left over from projects. I never go and buy fabric just because I like it. I certainly don't have anything like I read about here. I don't find time to do sewing near as much as I would like to so no point having mountains of fabric waiting to be used.

Oh My!
I don’t think the person who started this thread meant for people to start taking pot shots and become defensive, it was just a simple question. I think some of the humorous responses were taken way too seriously.
This is a wonderful board with wonderful people. Let’s keep it that way

I imagine that will change soon though, lol.
