I have a friend that has gotten rid of all her stash. She donated it to her church to make charity quilts. She says she took a write off for charitable donation and feels so much better about not having it now. She buys only what she needs for one project at a time. Seems to be working for her but I don't have much of a selection here. It is a small community and only one small quilt shop. No WalMart fabric area, no JoAnns. I keep my stash and use it and will add when I travel. Ann in TN
