I have made lists when preparing to buy fabric a few times, but I have still managed to get duplicates a couple of times. As far as having a list of my whole stash, I do not know if that would work for me. It would have to be constantly updated when I use up something. Oh, but I definitely have a list of the quilts I've made from the stash. The names, sizes, dates completed, and who I gave them to. That is a list that puts a smile on my face.
