I recently started organizing my fabric. Wrapping them around comic book boards etc. I swore that I was going to use what I have before buying more.
Then I started on Bonnie Hunters Orca Bay Mystery quilt. I was determined to use my stash for the 4 color families that the pattern uses. And I did start that way - honestly. Then after I started the first step I decided that I didn't have enough variety in my neutrals (mostly tone on tone) or my oranges - mostly batiks. I ended up buying 20 more 1/2 - 1 yard pieces (5 or 6 neutrals and the rest oranges). Hehe. In addition I decided I needed a couple more purples too. My total for "NOT BUYING" fabric was about $80.
Guess I need a scrap quilt pattern that just needs lights, mediums and darks - not color family related. Oh well, that is my excuse and I am sticking with it.
