My only advice to you is if you do buy a stash, buy at least 1yd cuts and make sure you also get some coordinating fabric. My mom is my best example. She is the kind of person that buys any fabric that catches her fancy. It just calls to her. needless to say she has a huge amount of fabric. her problem was that when she wanted to use it, she never seemed to have a coordinating fabric to use in her project. Of course that meant a trip to the quilt shop (she didn't mind that) but it could get expensive in the long run and if you don't have a lot of rooom, storage becomes an issue. I myself usually only buy what I need when I need it, but that is because I have no room. I have been known to buy just for the heck of it though! I hope that helps. I am sure you will get some great advice on here.
