Oh lucky you! I wish I had the wherewithall to do that but for me, alas, it is too late. I have the stash-accumulation disease and the stash to go with it.
I think I have an addictive personality in regards to fabric and for a long time I went through the "OMG I GOTTA HAVE IT" phase. Pat was surprised the first time I bought 1/4 yard. He thought fabric could only be purchased in full yard increments.
Then my sewing room bulged at the seams and the joy of having turned into an annoyance of sorting and keeping.
Now, I only add very little to the stash particularly if I don't have a color to go with the latest group project. Or a few little bundles from Maui. Other than that, I HAVE to use what I got.
