My Stash

Our daughter and her family are moving out this week and when all the dust settles, I plan to move my E.N.T.I.R.E fabric hoard stash into the newly vacated Blue Room. This is no small feat. I have bins of fabric in several places throughout the house and often, I will cart boxes up or down to rummage and plan and prep then cart them back again. This way, everything will be in one room. Maybe. 

The thing is, I plan to start the QAL 2021 The Curves on Jan 1, 2021, and I have to locate the green and black reproduction fabric I bought back in 2014 that I plan to use. I accidentally found the Kona Snow layer cake when I was rummaging through a box looking for some more of a particular aqua repro fabric I used to make a pieced block for the 50th Anniversary Quilt.  

You see, I do not organize my fabric by colour or theme or stash or scraps. Many are in project boxes with the pattern, fabrics, and backings ready for me to discover and drool over and plan then put away again for another day. Some projects are in 2-3 boxes with many blocks made and many prepped. Many fabrics are in collections. Some are just bolts that I collected over the years to make sure I had "enough". And wide backs. I bought lots of those. I also have many packages of batting. I once bought an entire bolt of Warm and Natural 120 inch wide batting for half price. It did fit into my car and it did fit into the cupboard. I have used more than half so far. I figured I would make scrap quilts someday, but did not actually have scraps until I finished the project for which I purchased the fabric.
