For me, I would like to add,
Buy fabric, notions, quilt books, rulers, only if I have sold, donated, traded, regifted the same quanity of fabric, notions, quilt books, rulers. I would like to have 4 free (forgiveness) passes when I fall off the sewing pile and the UPS/FEDEX/USPS angel leaves packages on the side porch (internet junkie). If I can add these, I will join the moritorium challenge.

It will also clear out some space in your sewing area and you may discover treasures you forgot you had.
The rules are simple: No new fabric purchases until November 2012.
You can buy:
batting
backing and/or binding
fabric - if NOTHING in you stash will work. (Consider trading with a friend)
thread and notions
fabric purchased on a plan (example - block of the month)
Some can do variations such as only 3 months, or a GREAT sale.
Anyone can join.
Come on and clear out some of that stash and make room for great new fabrics next year.
