\n<\/div>\n
\nI got an email from a reader (hi Barbara!) a few days ago asking me how to build a fabric stash\u2026so I thought I\u2019d show you what I buy and keep on hand.  And since the price of fabric may soon be rising<\/a>\u2026.you may find its necessary to watch what you buy more carefully.<\/div>\n
\nHere are my basics\u2026.what I consider to be staples in my stash:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nsolids, polka dots, stripes, and small scale prints.  Usually I have some gingham in there too.<\/div>\n
\nI basically buy the same type of thing for every color and I always have them on hand:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nSo my basics I always have and keep stocked.  I usually buy \u00bd yards of basics\u2026but more if its something I love like that Katie Jump Rope blue basket weave up there.  I don\u2019t buy as many floral, large scale or novelty fabrics, but I do keep some just because I like them.  I usually buy \u00bc yard to \u00bd yard depending on the price.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAnd they are usually the ones that stay in my stash forever until I need to make a baby quilt\u2026but it is nice to have at least some on hand if you need them.   For instance if I wanted to make a quilt today with that floral Dream On fabric\u2026.<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI could pull enough \u201cbasic\u201d fabrics out of my stash to make it work.  You can usually tell when I\u2019m clear out of fabric and I\u2019m only using my stash\u2026because there will be gagillions of polka dots.  Like this<\/a> and this<\/a> quilt\u2026I buy way too many polka dots.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n  I\u2019ve said before I don\u2019t keep a big stash\u2026but because I have a lot of basics and \u201cusable\u201d fabrics\u2026I can usually make a lot of projects from my stash without buying more.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBut no matter how I can ramble on about stashing\u2026the bottom line is, whether you have a big stash or a small stash..buy what you love.  If you love it, you\u2019ll use it and be more happy with what you have.  <\/div>\n
