Wow-Congradulations! No, you certainly are not alone buying fabric without a plan. That's how we get such big stashes!! But, I for one, love to be able to pull from my own stash when wanting to start a project-especially, a fairly small one-like purses or totes etc. I don't drive, so DH is my "chauffeur" and it's nice I don't have to wait to get to a fabric store when the bug hits me (which is daily!). Besides, I love to just oogle over my stash-I have it well-organized.
