Nope. I don't buy it. Instead, I leave it for someone else to enjoy! I generally do have a fairly good stash of small amounts, which is leftovers from projects. My primary "stash" is having several bags tucked away, each one with fabric, threads, and backing for a quilt I plan to make, together with a sketch of a pattern. The fabric is all washed, neatly folded, and ready to go. (My stash of batting is in the back of a closet, and ranges from whole pieces to scraps.) My stash of small amounts of fabrics -- leftovers -- is tucked away into a laundry basket, sorted by color families, and used for block swaps, an occasional scrappy sampler quilt, tote bags, and other small projects. I almost always have at least 2 quilts in progress, one at a stage where I can take piecing or small whole-cloth bits with me in a tote bag, and another at a stage where it really isn't portable. I don't have a sewing room and am not willing to give up a guest room, so quilting things are scattered through the house but very handy for me -- the Singer 99K in its case behind a sofa, sewing machine table folded and under the sofa, a treadle machine in a kitchen corner, card table behind the buffet server in the dining room, cutting mats with the card table, fabric and batting in guest room closets, threads in plastic boxes in an endtable drawer, most tools and gadgets and related goodies in a locker trunk in a closet, and my everyday stitching stuff in a basket at my favorite chair. I'm not done buying fabric, but at this point have enough on hand to keep me busy for at least 5 years, and enough is enough!
