Good question. I am trying to limit how much I expand my stash. I usually only buy for finishing and that is usually traditional. I did buy one of those cakes of brights to try something modern. Good time of year for that. I don't like to include in my stash some of everything cause that gets confusing and I am feeling overwhelmed as it is. So I buy small bundles for specific projects of something unusual for me. I regularly collect a bit of 30's. a bigger bit of batiks and 1800's and mostly traditional that I want to steer away from/ use up (that will take 8 more years). Did I make any sense?
