I just loaded up on needles and rotary cutter blades (various sizes) AND just bought a Lynne Edwards cathedral window ruler to use up some of those really nice bali scraps and bali charms I have. Whatever's left of the bali scraps get turned into either mile-a-minute quilt blocks OR Chinese coin or braid rectangles.
I also bought several yards of 108" white, cream and unbleached muslin and solid black to use up all the colored scraps and FQs I have. It'll be used for sashing or background. For me, the moratorium is on "fun fabric" (anything other than utilitarian muslin or solid black fabric). I'll piece my backings, possible piece wide(r) outer borders, and make-do THAT way.
I have turned down close to two dozen opportunities to go shopping for fabric this year, and it feels good. VERY GOOD. I consider my purchases staying ahead of price increases while still sticking to the core of the moratorium (making do with what you have).
