I have a fabric stash but not by intention. I usually buy the fabric required for my project but I buy a little extra fabric to allow for mistakes in cutting. I have also bought the fabric required for a quilt and when I start to make the quilt I will realize that 1 or 2 of the fabrics just isn't working in the color scheme and so I buy some more fabric to replace them. After 37 years of quilting I have a larger stash than I imagined. I have made so many scrap quilts but I think the fabric breeds during the night when the lights go off because I barely make a dent in the stash.
