Hi Jordan,
Be patient … everybody's stash starts out small like that, even mine. Someday your stash will be the envy of any quilter.

Oh how I envy your stash! I am still working on putting together my stash… I have a measly 7 pieces!

Hi Denise,

Thanks! It took years and years of fabric shopping to create my stash. Actually I do buy by color a lot of the time, but I don't restrict myself only to color shopping if there's something else I really love. I always check out the oranges and yellows, because they're usually harder to find than the other colors. Taupe seems to be another rare color, at least at my local shops. Today I went fabric shopping and there were only 2 or 3 fabrics in the whole store that could really be called taupe. Most of the neutrals are beige.

Most of my quilts are small and scrappy so 1/2 or 1/3 of a yard of each or even a fat quarter is usually enough for me. I rarely buy more than 1 yard lengths.

Wow! As a newbie quilter (and blogger) I am in awe of your 'stash'. How do you go about accumulating so many lovely fabrics (e.g do you buy by color?) and when you see something in the store that you love how much do you usually purchase? Happy organizing!!

Oh, how I wish my huge stash was this organized (groan)! I was just telling my Mom today that soon, very soon, I will downsize.

I love your stash. The organization picture is gorgeous. Looks like a quilt store…that's what my girls would say! If I am sewing, they are usually pretending that they work with me at my quilt shop…or pretend we are all working together at JoAnns..guess that means I go there too much?!?!

I did some rearranging at the beginning of the summer and it has made the space so much more inviting. I am sure you will find the same thing.
You came up with a lovely combination- it will be fun to see what quilt you come up with using the berry fabrics …Yummy I'm sure.
Warmest regards,
Anna
