My advice is that you think before you start to gather up a huge stash. It becomes a habit, and you acquire way more than you will ever use in this lifetime. I am fortunate to have my stash in a nice size storage room that is part of my tiny one bedroom apt. I have gotten rid of or given away much of my other things that I have had for far too long without having ever used them. My quilting is my most joyful hobby. After about only 7 years of what I think was compulsive fabric buying, I have far too much fabric. I wish I could give away some of it, but no one around here that I know of is a quilter. So I will keep on saving it all, and I will try to organize it in in such a way that when I am gone, my family will not have a disaster to cean up. I don't even have a desire to go out and buy more, although I do at times, get the urge to buy online from fabrics.com, my favorite place to buy fabrics from. I just tell myself that I don't need it, and so far, for about a year, I have succeeded in being satisfied with what I have. I am so blessed to be able to just open the door, to my "fabrichology" lab and just walk into the heveanly stash and get whatever I want. Yes, at times I do find that I just don't seem to have what I think I need for a project, but then I just shift gears and improvise
