Well, stash does just happen as well. I'll buy fabric for a particular project, but when I get home decide I don't like one of the fabrics. Or I'll buy a fabic I think goes with something I work on but when I get home change my mind. Of course I've had whole project switch on me or not get started and then that goes into the stash. So sometimes 'Stash Happens'.

Can someone tell me me where I can find a very simple pattern to quilt out of old blue jean material? I would like for it to be for a girl or boy. Thanks

I normally buy 1/2 yard or smaller if it's a good price & a cute print, but have no plans for it. However, today I was making pillow cases and my 1/2 yard cute prints are too small! :( I mentioned it to my DH and he said "why wouldn't you buy a minimum of 1 yard?". So I guess I just got his blessing to change my shopping habits and next time will buy more fabric. LOL
