For sure I don't NEED any :)

| Messy Stash |
I've been tracking my stash for three years. Nothing better than a good spreadsheet.
So, how did 2012 go? Glad you asked.
Things were going pretty well until I started my shopping for the perfect ocean blues in June/July.
(About 62 yards showed up at my door....blues and a few others fell into my online carts....ooops)
I ended the year only 33 yards up, and I didn't even make a stop at The Fabric Shack while in Ohio over the holidays. I really do like trying to use the fabulous fabrics I have, before I don't like them anymore. Overall, I say 2012 was pretty good stash-wise.
Last week, a couple of great tonal prints were in the clearance section at the shop. I always seem to need a good orange or yellow, so I grabbed these at half off. Besides, nothing had been added to the stash since early November!

| Blue if it's a Boy.... |
Here's the real question, though. Will I be making a little girl quilt or a little boy quilt?!
Ok, I don't actually need a single scrap of blue, and I'm pretty good with pink/purple as well. But I have deemed a new baby a valid reason to buy fabric.
I'm looking forward to poking a few buttons, once I know. Just have to control the fun and avoid shipping 50+ yards to the house.

Wow! I am in awe of your stash.
And yeah, about the baby too...Congratulations!
oh how I dream of a stash like that one day.:)
Very Happy for you.
Congratulations! We have all girls (5) over here so it is all pink all the time. :)
Love your fabric!
oh, Angela, that's so very exciting!!!!! You totally need some more fabric. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Congrats on the baby! I have four and it is quite a challenge. You seem like you will be able to handle it though. LOVE your stash! My husband would flip if I ever sent 62 yard to my house!!!! =)
So so exciting! A girl sure would be fun, but you're already an expert at being a boy mom!
So excited for you!
And I was thinking about your spreadsheet this month - I want to do something similar to track my stash this year and make sure more goes out than comes in. I think I have around 100 yards but I won't know until I count it…. Yikes!
I love your stash! Congrats on the baby.
A new baby on the way? How exciting!!! ... and YES! That's the perfect reason to purchase new fabric!
:)
Congratulations!
And many blessings to you! ♥
Ha! Every 2 wks: 14 yds out, 20 yds in. The potential I see in beautiful fabrics is endless. And despite serious production of gorgeous quilts, I am losing the stash busting goal. Ha! Off to create some more beauty...
Ooh... Sonograms are my favorite doctor visit!
No matter what colour you end up using, I am sure the quilt will be super awesome because baby has one talented mama and sweet and thoughtful brothers to love it to bits.
Wish I could organize my stash so nicely. I am on a stash moratorium. We shall see how long *that* lasts.
OMG - that's awesome! I'll be praying for PINK! Congrats! Jenn
What is the name of the yellow on yellow dot you picked up recently? I am collecting yellow/green for a quilt for my oldest who is going to Baylor in the fall.
Oh wow, I love that you have a spreadsheet to catalogue your stash.
