I buy fabric specific to a project and make that project and then buy more for my next project. I always buy a little extra for those oops moments but all in all I don't have very much extra. So my question is why is the need for the fabric hoarding? Every time I go to the LQS I see fabric that is always as beautiful as the last time even though it may be a bit different still beautiful nonetheless. So what am I missing? Why are your stashes so large? Do I need to pick up the pace next time I am out shopping? :) Just curious on everyone's reasoning :)
