I find that the reality is, no matter how large my stash is (and I have a few friends who do envy mine) I invariably discover that I am missing at least one particular color/value or yardage to make some projects. So sometimes a "stash quilt" does need just a little extra boost of new fabric. However, if it is to be a scrap quilt, then everything, including the backing, I try to pull from the current stash.

cjbeg OFFLINE Posts: 704	Sandi, Yes. it isn't a stash if you don't already have it before the project is started. But if you happen to "need" it for another project, then decide it isn't quite right? Well who are we to stop you from wasting your money.

theothermarion OFFLINE Posts: 233 Thank you received: 42	Does that include backing? Of course, there is a lot of fabric I no longer am in love with -- and sometimes don't care for at all -- so that often ends up on the back of quilts. I just don't buy backing anymore.

Scoopie OFFLINE Posts: 1149 Thank you received: 160	Yes, I agree with the others that my stash is ALL of the fabric that I have in my possession. If I am to pull from my stash, I am to use fabric that I already have, regarless what it's original intent was. Dawn In beautiful Northwest Montana

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	If I haven't bought it yet, it's in my stash! Edited to explain that I don't mean I already have every piece of fabric! Just that if I already own it, it's called stash!
