I think we have all done that. I have tried to be better. I've used alot of mine as quilt backing for charity quilts instead of going out and buying something else. I've traded with friends and sold at my guilds annual sale we have. Keep a box/bag where you can put these items that you're not crazy about anymore so if your guild does a sale you are ready. I started doing this a few years ago and have gotten rid of alot of stuff I'm not going to use and the ladies bot it all.
