I have a huge stash & very little of it coordinates. If I were to start over again my advice to myself would be to not build a stash but to find the pattern first then go searching for fabric. I believe in the long run, whether it be precuts or yardage or both you will have built a stash from the leftovers & will have spent less money. There are tons of free patterns on the internet, just google it or search thru the links on this forum. Have fun!
