Here's the story of my small, but growing stash. I see fabric I love and buy it and since I have no particular project in mind, I put it away. And then I get attached to it and don't want to use it even when the perfect project presents itself. So I buy more almost like it, but not quite. So far, I'm able to cut up the new fabric because I'm not attached to it yet.
I have a typical "love-hate" relationship with my fabric. Love to buy it; hate to cut it.
