I started out buying online when I was recoverying from a kidney transplant - I discovered fabric, designers and great deals. I signed up for a bazillion newsletters from quiltshops. I built up way too much of a stash --- well beyond my means. I had to sell some of it, donate a lot (which made me feel better about my purchase). At the moment I am on a total spending freeze. I have plently of scraps, some stash and lot's of solids. I seriously used to buy scraps. My friend told me that is the equilivent of buying items at the goodwill to sell at a garage sale. I don't quite agree with her but when I am not on a spending freeze (as I am not) I only buy what I need for the quilt I am making and that's it. No more shopping to build stash :-( .... geez I can ramble. Sorry for the long answer I think I am having fabric buying withdrawls ;-)

In answer to your question, the more projects you do the more your stash will build from the leftovers and the more scraps you will have for a lovely scrap quilt ;-)
