Yes, for numerous reasons. I would want to honor the quilter, by finding homes for their stash (be it in mine or pass it to someone that would/could use it). Older quilting fabric is usually a better quality than what is available today. Sorting through stash is fun and you might discover fabric that you need (backings, neutrals, basics). Inheriting a stash pushes us into different color pallets or different styles of fabric than we normally choose, and allows us to experiment for free. If your stash is bursting at the seams, then keep what you want and pass along what you don't and gives you an opportunity to pass along some of your own stash. Lastly, you are helping the destasher - you have given them peace of mind that the stash will be used. This is a win for all involved.
