I have smaller plastic containers with the quilt "makings" for about 7 or 8 quilts plus a large cabinet full and 3 smaller bookshelves full. I can tell you what happened to me. I know.
Discovered online sales and couldn't say no. If it's a good bargain, I will snap it up in a heartbeat with absolutely nothing in mind. Pretty Civil War fabric, oh yeah. 1930s...I might make something someday and need it. Baby fabric? yeah...I know somebody will be having a baby soon. It just happens.
I'm currently trying to NOT buy anything unless it's for a current project. I've done pretty well for about 3 months. This is ALMOST worse than craving chocolate!!
