I keep track of the quilts I make each year. Last year I made 16, 9 of them were from my stash. I no longer purchase for my stash -- I purchase (if needed) for a current project only. I've reduced the number of quilts hanging in the closet ready for quilting. That group is down from 10 to only 1 left. Having fabric is fun but not necessary! If I had to do it over I would only purchase for specific projects!
