The bottom bar is my stash at the end of 2011. The middle bar is my 2011 stash plus any fabric I've bought this year. The top bar is the middle bar minus all the fabric I used this year. Each bar is coded for garment, quilting and home dec fabrics. I'm happy to say that current stash size is smaller than my stash last year by 13 yds! And I've used up most of my quilting cotton and not bought much more.
My current stash is mostly garment with just a bit of quilting and home dec fabrics in the mix. I don't often do crafting or home dec sewing but I do use quilting and home dec fabrics occasionally for costuming.
And here's a break down of all of the fabric I used this year (131 yds! eep!)

And if you are super nerdy like me, here's some more stats! Next year, my goal is to stash bust even more and keep my total stash amount down. Almost 200 yds is a lot! And I still have some huge yardage from my trip to the LA garment district last year. I need to sew some of that before I go back next summer!
