it would be a huge mistake to pace your purchasing based on the habits of others. there's no such thing as a standard "right size" for a stash.
let your own needs and financial health be your guides. ;-)

DITTO....word for word, exactly how i feel when I look at my ''collection'' but on the other hand, we could be ''collecting'' other things that are not going to be used/made into wonderful works of art , beautiful gifts or just plain everyday useable quilts!!

I totally agree-also some collect and some purchase to use. I have a friend that won't use some of her fabric because it's too pretty! I personally don't like a lot of things around and besides how often do we find ourselves going back to the store because we need a color to add or we don't have enough of something. Whatever you have it still won't be enough or right for the project! Craaaazzzzyyyyy!
You will find your comfort zone but remember to leave room so you can add to it when you find something you just have to have!
