Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth to this discussion. I agree with everyone else--tastes change and the more modern fabrics catch your eye. I had a large stash that I gave away since there were so many--what was I thinking fabrics that I didn't like anymore. Stash cash so you can spend without guilt. Things that you like today may be ugly to you in 5 years. Buy a little tone on tone fabrics, but have a stash of money to be used just for fabrics after you retire. The urge to shop won't go away you know.
