I feel your pain! I'm a newby too and love Love LOVE fabric! I've had to tell myself thatt I can't go into a fabric store until I have a project finished. Once it finished, I can go back to fabric hunting. If I have a fabric craving before that time, I go into my stash, get out all my lovely fabrics, fold them and pet them. That satisfies the craving and reaquaints me with what I have (so I know what I might need to add next)!
