I would say Im still fairly new to quilting. However I think having a stash is the best part of quilting.. I love buying fabric just because I like it. I mostly buy quarters or half yards. However twice now I have liked a fabric so much I have bought all of it. My stash is still evolving I am working on collecting Paisley prints and shades of brown and other earth colors. I get frustrated because it takes me forever to find a paisley I like and then when I do the price is outrageous so I sadly have to pass it by.
