Circumstances dictate a lot of actions. Personalities control just as much. I have fabric for quite a few projects, some of my own purchasing but a lot from a friend who shares my tastes and loves to shop. Also, just for the record, I hate shopping and that helps curtail stash building. Sometimes limited choice is fantastic for creativity because it forces you to look outside the box. I bought specific border fabric for this quilt but getting it home it no longer did anything for me. I then shopped at the massive amount of fabric at my disposal and choose something I had previously thought unsuitable. Shopping changed my perspective and as a result I had yards of fabric that became a thorn in my side.
