100% agree and I'm working on building my stash too. I have shopped out of it quite a few times when I unexpectedly need just a little something else or when I change my mind about a color scheme. The worst thing though, in shopping my stash I used one of my very favorite batik's that I was saving for something really special on a different project because it truly was the perfect fabric for that quilt ... and now I can't find anymore of it. And that quilt was a gift for someone else so I'll never see it again. *sigh* oh well - at least she really loves her quilt.
