So, I'm going to force myself to concentrate on adding these items to my stash. What about you?
with my luck, just about the time I start adding the solids and tone on tones, they will be the wrong tones and I will end up buying more. I usually wait to buy these until I have my main fabric(s) picked out.

I need a 'white' that is thick enough so colors & prints don't show through.

I agree that whites and neutrals don't seem to be as much "fun to buy" but I really need them too.
Other prints etc seem to jump out at me more.
I recently found a number of neutrals when I cleaned my sewing room. Finally I know what I have LOL

Blenders and other fabric that 'read' as solid. I'm way more attracted to patterned fabric.

I am the opposite. I have ONLY blender fabrics, small prints and tone-on-tones. Honestly they are the only thing that really, really appeal to me. I can't do floral or anything with large prints. I have to buy a focus fabric everytime, and get really nervous doing so. I wish one of you guys could wave a magic wand and get me out of the box I'm in.

What's missing in my stash? Everything I need on any project I'm working on. My stash seems to be useless unless I'm working on a scrap quilt. :thumbup:

I agree, missing the same, no fun buying the solids as much. Trying to do better.

In the last few months I have purchased some blender fabrics that have made it easier to find everything I need in my stash.

I particularly like Robert Kaufman's Fusion fabrics. Here is a link...scroll down the page to see the many colors.

Only thing missing is more Fushions 5573! Have a few, but I have been wanting many of the other colors available. Problem is, I won't pay over 7.00 a yd for them and am having a hard time finding them for less. Looking for 2 yards of each, so that adds up fast. The money is saved for that day I can find it for what I am willing to pay for it.
