I follow several quilters blogs and it seems they are often trying to reduce the size of the stash of fabric that they have on hand. Stashing has always made me a bit nervous because, well, what if the fabric doesn't get used.
I bought new machines in April (Bernina 440QE and 1150 Serger... woot woot!) and decided to buy a cabinet for them rather than having to pack it all up and put it back in the closet. This has made a big difference in the amount of sewing I do so my stash has grown simply because of the amount of scraps and small pieces left over from projects.
I recently completed my first project with fabric and trims COMPLETELY from my stash. All of that was to say that I'm now okay with stashing and have actually made my first fabric purchase that is strictly for my stash. :) The hardware store where I buy fabric (small town) was having a 75% off sale of some of their fabrics so I bought 7 yards and I'm excited about looking for projects to fit the fabric I have on hand rather than fabric for the projects I'd like to do.
