I have a stash, but tend to buy batiks and only 1/3 of a yard of what I like, because I like lots of color in my quilts. I usually never by yards of a material without a specific project I want to make. That said I am a sucker for halloween/fall fabric, but usually only by it 1/2 a yard at a time. I dont have a sewing room, just part of our bedroom, so I do have to keep my stash under control. Lately I have been making quilts out of stash only fabric, but I do have a day trip planned to Keepsake Quilting on Monday with a friend, it is about 2.5 hrs away, well worth the drive.
