I say a stash is never too big. However, you have to be smart enough about the space you have for storage. In my house my space is very limited so I have a small stash and most of it is scraps. I have used some of my scraps to make a quilt top for my bed, but I still have 2 large plastic totes full of scraps. I guess I will make a scrappy quilt for family or friends. Jeanniebelle
