I do too!! Most of my stash is FQ's. I like my quilts to have many fabrics in them, so I buy small amounts. I usually have a small amount at a time that I can spend, so I don't want to spend it all on one fabric, usually. When I was building my stash I would just look at all the fabrics and colors and buy what I liked in the different colors. Now I have a drawer of pinks, blues, reds, greens, yellow, etc... but mostly small cuts. I usually can tell if the fabric I love will be used as a border, or background and I will buy larger cuts for those. Yes, I have had times when I wished I would have bought more of certain fabrics, but it has always worked out, sometimes I have had to be very creative, but that is a good thing, I think!
