I so Agree especially when I know I bought them on sale/discount price compared to the regular price.
I would try to go to your stash and study them, organize them by color or theme. You will find that you may have more of a certain color and very few of others. Most people have more of the medium shades compared to the others.
If you have a lot of small cut pieces, like many suggested Quiltville.com is a good resource.
When I buy I always ask: is this a Focus fabric, Accent fabric, or background fabric. That determines how much I will purchase.
Don't let your Stash intimidate you. It is there saying "we want to play".
