As you can see we all have a MAJOR problem. lol.

But seriously, in the past I would buy anything that caught my eye. Now, I buy neutrals that I know will make good backgrounds or I buy for a certain project that way I don't have to try to keep finding places to store it all.

I have found if I buy a yard for my stash, when I come across a pattern that I want to make, the pattern will call for 1 1/2 yard so then I have to buy fabric for that pattern. And you always buy a little more than the pattern calls for then you have the original yard of fabric in your stash and whatever is left from the new fabric. So a good way to build your stash would be to buy for a project then whatever is left is added to your stash. Then it is almost like getting your stash for free :lol:. Right????
