I do the same way..Its so incredibly Overwhelming! I have to force myself to buy fabric and then..when I get around to an actual "project" have to go get more because I'm missing an important piece. Its crazy! I am forcing myself to use what I have in the coming year...close enough will be good enough. I also have started salvaging the clothes that my kids have outgrown or that are stained and such..I have quite a pile of usuable fabric ON TOP of my already Large stash.
