Not a stasher here. I only buy for projects. Even at that, I'm ending up with tons of scraps. I just found a pattern that will use up a bunch of batik scraps that I have. I enjoy having scraps for lotto blocks too. I would go crazy if I had a big stash. To me, it would just be dozens, even hundreds, of UFOs. The pressure to use what I had bought would be overwhelming and take all the fun away. Each to his or her own.
