Absolutely not! It DOES NOT count! I joined the fabric moratorium last year and actually did very well but this is what our 'rule of thumb' was. IF you need backing and you don't have it you can buy it. If you need additional fabric in order to complete your project you can buy it. If you need batting you can buy it.
I saved tons of $$ until I realized how many receipts for beads and other jewelry-making supplies/craft fair items I have!
