I try really hard NOT have a stash. I find that there is ususlly not the
"correct" fabric for a new pattern so I end up going and buying more fabric to match. or I do not have enough fabric to make patter. I just made a quilt that I did not have enought focas fabric to make the true pattern so I had to improvise (I was very proud of myself). Also I can not afford to have fabric stash with material that I am not going to use right a way. I try to buy fabric to go with a certain pattern.
