you are soooooo not alone ( I would be scared to even begin!) But do not be alarmed, afraid or ashamed. It is like having your freezer stocked! No matter what your financial situation in the future, you will be able to keep on quilting. If you really get tight, you can probably find someone to buy at least some of it (but who would want to get rid of any of our stash???) I think of mine as saving for the future and my retirement (and possibly being unable to work because of my health... diagnosed with Metastatic Melanoma, Fibromyalgia, and Psoriatic Arthritis)
