I'm another one that doesn't have a huge stash because I buy fabrics for the quilt I'm making and my stash consists of fabric left overs. I always buy extra fabric because I don't want to run out.... = bonus. Anyway, lately I've been buying fabric at estate sales and auctions so my fabric stash has increased quite a bit. And, I'm feeling the same as many I read about here.... there's not enough of one piece of fabric for the quilt I want to make.
I haven't made very many scrappy quilts but I do love them. And I use many small pieces of fabric for applique. I love applique. So, if my stash grows.... that's okay. If it gets smaller because I use some of those fabrics.... that's good. I've already told my daughter that she has a lot of quilting stuff to deal with when I'm gone. She doesn't want to hear it but she's been warned.
