Ah, the subtle difference between
stash busting and
scrap busting.
More commonly you see the Darkside denizens talk about scrap busting, as Q & P as well as applique lend themselves to saving every little scrap -search confetti quilts to see what I mean.
Most Sewists I know have vast yardage stockpiled for whenever in the future they get to that project. See a good sale, buy. See another one, buy more. And on it goes. No matter if you (me) only sew three or four items in a year. We must be prepared in case inspiration strikes.
Actually, if I get the main project done I have a secondary project in mind that will use up any and all scraps from the first one.
