I admit I have a large stash. I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened, lol. When I started quilting, in about 2004, there was Hancocks, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's and Walmart within 10 minutes of my house. Now, Hancocks is about 2 hours away, Hobby Lobby & Joann's is aboiut 25 miles away, and Walmart doesn't sell fabric any more. We do have a quilt shop, but I can't afford the expenisve prices (this shop never has a sale.)
So, I buy fabric when I have a chance and am so thankful for my stash, as I also like to sew in the middle of the night.
But like others say, whatever floats your boat!

I have to admit that I don't have a stash built up. I must be "storage challenged" for I just save fabric that are just scraps. I have to admit that I haven't been quilting for long and have not built up a collection. I usually have to buy it at the time for that project, and then it is hard to decide what I want for there are too many choices in the store. I am unemployed so I seldom have the money to buy fabric. I am about to go mad now for I don't have any fabric to work on right now, for I just finished a table runner. I envy all of you that have fantastic stashes and all the good deals that fall into your lap. Happy quilting.

That sounds like the perfect...dream. To use only what you need. But here in the real world of ME..My sewing room stuff is creeping out into the hall way. I am gonna have to finally fix it. Because if I can't sew in there...I'm not getting anything done.

Just like we need people to always buy new, so that those of us who like to buy used can, there are always eager people who would gladly relieve someone else who doesn't care to have any leftovers.
(And some people don't like food leftovers too and throw everything away at the end of a meal. I personally can't imagine it, but it happens.)
