I wish I had more control. I have tried and failed at this many times. My friend and I are always telling each other we need to stop buying fabric, but we head to the quilt store and buy more fabric. We have made a point of only buying what is on sale or we can use a coupon on. I would go for this if I thought I could do it. Like some of the others say: "I lost before I started". Good luck to you brave souls who are able to control this compulsion to buy fabric.
