I was told when I started to quilt I had to have stach. Why? After using it up in church quilts. I only buy for the project and still have left over for church quilts.

My stash is collecting retro prints that former quilters are giving to me...I'm thrilled! :)

where is the thread about the jelly roll. I think I missed it. I only have one jelly roll but don't know what to do with it. Also how do you know what kind of material too buy unless you have a quilt in mind. I don't have a quilt in mind but when I go too Wal-mart there is so much pretty material that if I had the money I would pick up some of it. Also I have tons of old shirts and things my DH brings in from the goodwill and all of them say 100% cotton but they don't all feel a like. Do you go ahead and just use them all together or do you separate the 100% cotton according too thinkness. How do I began too cut the shirts up without an idea or a pattern to go by? Thanks for your time.

Same diet here no more room, and saving money to get some larger UFO's quilted by longarm.

Also on a stash diet -- not visiting my shops as much except the local one. Actually thinking about not even purchasing my cherished Kansas Troubles.

The economy & our current situation warrants I be a little more frugal. Hard; yes, but I don't feel confidant in the future.

I'm glad I have purchased quite a bit the past 4 years since I started. It'll keep me busy.
