I agree. (and if you don't like leftovers or scraps, share them with others who do.)
My biggest quilting regret is the enormous stash i have.
All the money i spent on fabric - a lot of which i don't even like anymore - would have been better spent fixing up the house, saving for old age or emergencies, etc etc etc.
i still do some impulse buying, but try hard to shop my stash first then only buy what i need for the next specific project.
