I agree with the theory of resisting buying fabric for future use. If I have no project in mind, I will resist purchasing simply because it is pretty. There are always pretty fabrics. I have enough of a stash just from the left over from other quilts and as Iitsie stated, I will sometimes buy two shades not knowing which I will use. More fabric. I find a stash a burden and not a pleasure. From all the posts here, I am definitely not the norm.
