Wow!!! My stash is so small compared to you guys I am embrassed.

2 cabinets full, one closed full and several buckets full with mostly 1 yard sizes, some more than 1 yard and some fat quarters

You invest in something else. No reason to be embarrassed <wave>
I surmise that since you had to ask the question, you have only just begun. Once people find out you quilt (translated: quilters use scraps of fabric no one else knows what to do with) your stash will grow beyond your capabilities. Trust me!;)

My stash completely (and I mean competely) fills a 10 ft 3 in closet from floor to ceiling and joAnns had the audacity today to put all those coupons online, I just have to use that 50% one for batting on the roll.

I love it so much that I started selling it. The nearest place to buy fabric is 40-45 miles away and the nearest quilt shop is 65
miles away. I'm making a lot of money, but its so much fun!! You can find me on ebay whitediamond98. You have to go to community and click twice and then type in my site name.

I'll have a web site up and running February 1: lindaraestreasures.com

Hope you'll look, Linda Rae

My stash is enormous. I love to buy fabric. It is out of
control so I am trying to stop purchasing unless it is a fabulous buy. I quilt for several charities so I need a lot of
fabric. The past few years, people have been giving me their
unwanted fabric which I distribute to quilters that want it.
Some of my stash is in a closet on wide shelves. The rest is
in plastic totes or cardboard file boxes. I number each box
and write the contents of each in a notebook under that
box number. I try to put similar fabrics in each box. My big
problem is that I don't know in which room the box is in. I
have started putting the location of the box in the notebook. I am constantly reorganizing my stash. I must try
to make more quilts!

Rose, it looks like you are doing a great job of recording all the stash...just need to add a few details. Mine is not nearly that organized. :oops:

I have cotton quilting fabric in all sizes from one large scrap of fabric to multiple small scraps to multiple yardage. Of course that's not even counting all the flannel yardage I have from when I was going to set the world on fire making rag quilts. (NOT!!!!) I'm thinking about offering some of this on the classified after the new year. I could make a rag quilt for every member of this board! :? :? :?

My stash consists of mostly fat quarter sized pieces. I ran into the problem of needing sashing, back ground fabric, border and backing fabric. Right now I am focusing on that and if possible I buy 6-7 yards for backs and 1 1/4 yards for borders. Mostly looking for $4 a yard fabric. I have pretty much no white or white on white fabric, less then a FQ, and the beige/creme is also very close to none exsistend.

Hey Luann: Your stash looks eerily similiar to mine--not so much by organization, but the fact that it takes up a whole wall in the sewing room!
Looks like a lot of great fun to me!!
