I have never deliberately acquired a "stash". But I have bought fabric -- not nearly as much any more -- because I liked it, and thought I'd use it sooner or later. And I've bought a few yards of basic black and basic white to "have on hand." All my fabric is in a 42x81" Billy Bookcase from Ikea. Some are in "kits" -- that is coordinated fabric bundled together for a project -- but most is on comic book boards, shelved like books, and I have a couple of less than half full bolts, one my kids bought at an estate sale, and I have containers of scraps.
I'm currently planning a quilt for my eldest son and bought fabric I thought would work but have decided against, so it will go in the "stash" until I can find a use for it. I do not have a dedicated sewing room so always have to think about storage, not only of fabric but everything else that goes with it. So I try to keep it manageable.
