I am in total agreement with you. We always have a stash because I always buy a little more than the project needs just in case. When starting a project, the fabric in my house is either not enough, wrong shade, or - how about this - too much. Don't want to cut into it as I need it in the future. A stash is guilty reminder of money spent not being used but more important for me, it becomes a storage problem.
Thanks for sharing. I thought I was the only one.
