When I started quilting I thought buy-buy-buy, now that I have quite a stash realize I don't need it all. I tried scrappy quilts and the 2 I made drove me crazy trying to deep colors differant, I don't think I will ever be able to make a scrappy quiltnot that I don't like the ones ladies make on this site, I just need to know what goes where when. Now I find a pattern buy what I need and am fine. I can actually walk into a fabric shop and buy only what I may of ran out of. Hope this helps but it took years of buying to realize I really don't need all this fabric.
