I know you'll understand if I admit to being a bit of a fabric addict and confess that my fabric stash is taking over my sewing studio... and don't even get me started on my pre-cut problem. They're just so cute and fun! What could be better than having a ready to use piece of every fabric in a collection?
The problem is there's never enough of what you need and it all looks to matchy-matchy using just a single collection. I never end up actually using them so I've come up with a plan...
Use It or Lose It: each month I'm going to choose a collection to use and anything left at the end of the month is going in a box for a giveaway. To kick things off I chopped up this Rouenneries Deux jellyroll for a plus quilt. I love this collection and it goes really well in my
house but I need to move on:-)
Stay tuned and spread the word to any French General lovers, in early February I'll hold a giveaway for all my leftovers, including yardage. How are you taming your stash this year?
It sounded like you were talking about my fabric addiction too ;). So, true about pre-cuts!
ReplyDeleteThat's how it all starts for me. I am really trying to slow down buying fabric this years. Let's see how it goes.
Love this plus-sign quilt. Can't wait to see it complete. Good luck!
Love the pluses! I have a French General quilt I started two years ago with a Jo Morton pattern - maybe I should dig that up...
ReplyDeleteI try to use my stash but the new fabric collections are so tempting! I think it is a losing battle.
