It's all so true - at least I don't have the fabric police at my house like my sister does. But with prices on fabric going up, I also made a goal of using my stash and only buying if needed for a particular project.
I do "cheat" sometimes, like when the remnant bin has goodies in it that I just can't pass up! I do a lot of applique and the remnants give me lot of smaller pieces of quality fabric at a great price..
