  1. When stashing with no plan in mind, I go for a half yard cut of prints and yard cuts of solids. If I really know it will be perfect for a backing, I aim for 4+ yards. I really like the Tokyo map fabric and the last fabric (amazing), and of course you had to buy all the Vespa’s!

    I usually do half yard cuts whether print or solid.

    I try to splurge on a half yard bundle if I am getting an entire collection. If I am getting a basic like Carolyn Friedlander’s Schematic, I buy 2 yards. If good for a backing, I’ll get 5 yards. I might note that I could probably quilt for 4-5 years without buying fabric again.

    I usually go for a half-yard when I’m stashing, mainly because most online fabric shops keep that quantity as their minimum. With a lot of those, I then cut one fat quarter for cutting right away, and one for stashing. If I find something I think I might use in a range of projects, like a good low-volume print, then I might go up to 3/4 yard. If I find something I like for a potential binding, I usually buy 3/4 to 1 yard.

    I’m a budget quilter. I usually buy a yard of fabric on sale and I don’t keep track of whose designer the fabric was from. I found myself having a lot of odd combination of prints and colors. Do you often buy a collection or bundle from a designer?

  6. When I am buying fabric just for stash, I buy the bolt if it is a solid. With prints, I usually get 2 yards. Solids can go with so much and I’m finding that I really like them for backing to show off my quilting.

    Stash=1yard each. The reason is because every time I’ve gone for less I get caught short!

    I usually buy 1m of fabric as I just need to buy it as I cannot resist fabric buying…later I try and add some more of such binge bying fabric and make baby quilts or other projects that fit 🙂
    Solids/neutrals I buy in larger quantities like 2metres or sometimes more if I want to back a quilt with them

    Oh Molli,
    I don’t have a blog so I can’t join up but I cannot help but comment. The sharing of stashes is so therapeutic – every so often I splurge – really splurge. And then I look at everyone else and say… hey they got what I got too and then I feel okay. I had good taste. Love your Tokyo fabric. So cool.
