As for quilting, I don’t have a large stash, but I could make it my business to find enough on hand to keep busy for a long while, if I just apply myself.
I've been told that the one thing it's ok to stockpile is toilet paper. It never gets outdated/spoils and you will always have need of it. Not one of those things to go out to get when you discover that you have run out!

And FYI--2 rolls of TP will fit into an oatmeal box for storage in the bathroom.
