Gilla, don't feel bad that you don't have a stash like some of the others here. Many just buy the fabric they need for the next quilt. I don't have the room to have a huge stash and would like to discipline myself to not buy unless I have a project in mind. What's happened with some of the fabric I've bought is that I am no longer 'in love' with it, then you're stuck having spent that money that you won't see again. So, there is nothing wrong with just buying what you need. To each his/her own.
