ok, I'm gonna get whupped up on for this but... I buy what I need for a project. Anything left goes into a clear bin. Yes, "A" clear bin. One, that's it. If I had ton of fabric around I would feel a lot of pressure to use it and that's the last thing I want quilting to become - one more "to do" list. I work one project at a time and when it's about 3/4 of the way done I line up the next one. I will admit that I have a second bucket of projects that I bought the fabric and the pattern at the same time and made my own "kit" - but that is also limited to one bin. And when I don't feel inspired to work on something big I pull something out of the project bin and whip it up. That's usually a big enough break between larger projects. Just a different approach.
