I promised myself I would not buy any new fabric for all of 2016, unless I needed backing fabric. I have way too much stash. And I am going to use it this year in lots of projects!!www.hudsonvalleyquilts.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789899769950414376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-16431565255710474372016-01-26T21:25:39.717+00:002016-01-26T21:25:39.717+00:00Ooh both those quilt will be great for using up yo...Ooh both those quilt will be great for using up your rainbows of fabric Ruth.

Anything smaller than a yard goes in them. I keep them arranged in color order. Then it is easy to see what I have on hand, and to find the perfect color. Plus they stack really nicely under a table or on a bookshelf. :) Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637613444257535184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-19860195317148867352016-01-26T12:27:41.743+00:002016-01-26T12:27:41.743+00:00Wow, that was a massive shopping you did!

I think you had better get sewing with all these goodies!<br />My stash is never going to look like that as I always buy little bits.

Why not a bit of both in each quilt?Granny Maud's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14526026491886013457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-74831266778250190962016-01-26T03:22:07.524+00:002016-01-26T03:22:07.524+00:00Greta stash additions!

I can't wait for the shopping to commence!

Both would look great in solids and in prints too. Toss a coin? It's often so difficult not to add new fabrics to your stash - when you see a line you really like it's hard to pass it by especially as most will disappear never to be seen again. On the plus side you'll never be stuck for materials to sew with.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720108165449491078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-29505824918182288232016-01-25T16:27:59.043+00:002016-01-25T16:27:59.043+00:00Hi Ruth!
