We have accumulated a rather large stash. I don't think we will ever be able to use it all up, but it is handy to have something to choose from when we are ready to start a project. I don't think that makes us hoarders. We have intentions to use what we have to make quilts, but even if we don't put it into quilts right away, we enjoy it. Sometimes it's fun to just go out to the sewing room and open the cabinets and admire the collection and remember when and where we bought the fabrics. In my mind, that is serving a purpose, if temporary.
