I have done it several times when I find a great 'almost white' and I have gotten two or three Fossil Fern neutrals that make great blenders. Sometimes these things wind up in several quilts. Then, sometimes I have purchased a bolt to use as backing on a quilt or two. I like to do that with things I know I will use fairly quickly. I also have one on the shelf to make a new dust ruffle for the bed-some of these days.
