What's missing in your stash?

So, I'm going to force myself to concentrate on adding these items to my stash. What about you?

I agree that whites and neutrals don't seem to be as much "fun to buy" but I really need them too.
Other prints etc seem to jump out at me more.
I recently found a number of neutrals when I cleaned my sewing room. Finally I know what I have LOL

I am the opposite. I have ONLY blender fabrics, small prints and tone-on-tones. Honestly they are the only thing that really, really appeal to me. I can't do floral or anything with large prints. I have to buy a focus fabric everytime, and get really nervous doing so. I wish one of you guys could wave a magic wand and get me out of the box I'm in.

In the last few months I have purchased some blender fabrics that have made it easier to find everything I need in my stash.
I particularly like Robert Kaufman's Fusion fabrics. Here is a link...scroll down the page to see the many colors.
