    My New Years Resolution is not to buy any fabric. I too buy jsut becasue I like it and it will be good for something some day. However my stash is huge right now.

    For Christmas, I have been using up material, but it does not look like I have made a dent.

    Two thumbs up!!

    Why did you resolve to use up your stash?

    Do you have a terminal disease (I hope not!) or are planning on quitting the hobby or was it just bothering you to have so much excess fabric?

    Just wondering... I like having some to work with, though mine is a bit excessive at the moment. But this year I've made 79 charity quilts with my stash....so I guess if I add to it with used sheets or curtains once in a while, that is okay, right? I am vowing to make sure more goes out in finished quilts than comes in in a plastic bag. :)

    One of may main reasons for doing this was because I was getting overwhelmed with projects. It started to feel like I was in such a hurry to make quilts that I started to get frustrated and neglectful in other aspects of my life. I'm determined to finish these up and then relax with some serious hand quilting on a queen size. Quilting almost felt like a job for me. I'm downsizing and taking things slowly!
