There are some posts that make wish we had a "like" button and this is one of those times. Excellent post! It made me look at some things in a way I never considered. I have a difficult time buying fabric unless I have a certain quilt in mind. There are many times when I've said to myself " Oh that's so pretty but what am I going to do with it?" I've been fortunate that I've seen it as a money sitting around doing nothing when it might be needed elsewhere. The scraps leftover from projects are what I consider stash. Some day I may have enough to make a quilt.
