bearisgray - you spoke to my heart. I have acquired way more fabric than I need and for many of the same reasons you gave. I find I am now giving it away to reduce my stash. Many fabrics I just don't like any more. Others frustrate me because I do not have enough of it to do what I want. I do find joy in giving it away. I have given a lot to a lady who makes pillows and quilts for veterans with the American Legion. And several of my friends have benefitted from my stash reduction. If I had it to do over, I would find a pattern I like and then buy the fabric I need for it with maybe a "little" extra for goofs. This is what I am now trying to do. It made me feel good to know I was not alone in this.
