Just get shuffled from one spot to another.
I never really found the need for a stash like my ex mother in law had. in fact i think all that extra fabric would drive me nuts..
So tell me.. The house we are looking at buying has a shed that I would convert to my sewing room. Should I start building a stash or wait?
I think that is up to you. I started the way you are doing, just buying for a planned quilt and I think I was happier not being so burdened with all this fabric I have now. Unless you are making scrap quilts, it always seems you have to buy more fabric when you plan another quilt..
So in the end, do what makes you happy.
