When I last moved 5yrs ago, I moved fabric I have had for several years. I moved out of that house recenty and still had a stash. I gave most of it away. It was not quilting fabric only, but I finally gave up the hope of ever using it all. I am just getting into quilting, so plan to buy only what I need for each quilt, no stash building. I can see your point and if you sell your stash, keep the money to buy what you need for each quilt you are going to make when you plan to start it.
