If you are content in your quilting process... don't feel compelled to have a stash ... there are plenty of us that have fabric purchase regrets.
I TOTALLY agree with Lori S. I am STILL adding blenders to my stash and very rarely buy any focus fabrics. I LOVE making a bargello, one tends to focus more on tonals or blenders than focus fabric. I keep wonder what I am going to do with all those calicos I collected in the 80s when I worked part time for House of Fabric just to get the then 25% off employee discount. Bought way to much but it was HARD to past up such a bargain especially when the calicos were on SALE !!!
