There are many secret stashers on this Board!! Confess, confess!

That is the most organized I've seen outside of a quilt store!! I'm jealous! I just moved back to the states this year, so I am still trying to organize my "space" - which is considerable less than I had before! I have so many great ideas now thanks to this site!! I don't know whether I am more jealous of the organization, or the actual stash! Both I guess!

I haven't been quilting for very long so can't relate to all the stashes. I will probably never get loaded up w/fabric since, as of now, I only buy for a specific quilt and I have no room to even think of storing the fabric. My financial background always creeps up too....so much $$ invested and waiting to be used. Only my opinion......

Love the cartoon!
but I make alot of scrap quilts very few are planned.
and they are planned with what I have.
I have never went and purchased fabric for a certain quilt!
But I currently have several thousand yards.
I buy what I like when I can..which is all the time thanks to online shopping!
I don't drive- never have! So if I go to a fabric store hubby takes me, this really limits shopping!

Misty - In the picture with your fat quarters - is that foamcore that you used to make the smaller 'bolts'? I have seen the premade plastic ones and LOVE the idea but don't love the prices. I was thinking about using foamcore but it is great to see it. Guess that is my next step.

Plus, I don't know how old you are but things accumulate (for some of us, anyways) as you get older. My stash represents 15+ years of collecting and not having time to be very productive because I've always had to work full-time.
Please don't get me wrong, no offense was taken. Your point is a good one. In this case, it doesn't fit me.
