I know a number of quilters in our guild who don't have a stash, or only the TINIEST one. They don't like any clutter. They don't make scrap quilts, so they don't want scraps. They buy only what they need. (gasp) They bring their scraps to the bees, where they are promptly gobbled up. One friend makes me laugh, she talks about having NO fabric stash BUT has threads galore and patterns that could rival the best LQS !!
Going stashless wouldn't work for me ... I love having choices ready & being able to work from it ... but, different strokes for different folks !! :)
