We're already paying a lot more for fabric than we used to do; we'll adjust this time, too. I don't have much of a stash but I plan to use it well this year and only buy what I need.
I'm also returning to hand piecing - it's slowing me down considerably but I'm still enjoying the heck out of myself. Truth be told I'm starting to prefer it to machine piecing, plus I'll save a ton just by decreasing my output.
