I regret purchasing without a specific purpose in mind. I have a stash that while I like the fabric I haven't used in years! My tastes have changed, random purchases that haven't yet made it into a quilt. I am fortunate to have a shop locally that will cut even two inch strips WOF if that's all you need. Love that! If
I had to do it all over again I would only urchase for what I needed. The scraps still accumulate but at least I would know I have already "used" it.
