This is one of my main reasons for having a stash, not that I ever planned one, it just sort of grew. But it is nice to be able to work on a project when creativity strikes, or to be able to keep working when you're on a roll, like you did. I rarely finish a project without having to go shopping for something, but I have so much fabric that most of my quilts are now at least 50 to 60% stash with just a few new things added. I think I have finally hit a sort of equilibrium where I'm using fabric at least as fast as I'm buying it. Of course, I could be in denial...
