I was looking through all my boxes of fabric looking for a particular color and believe me, that is a good way to make yourself go on this diet. I REALLY need to use up what I have or at least do this for a year to wean down the pile a little. So if you begin to fall off the wagon, just sort through your fabric and get encouragement to stay on board. I do have to admit I will buy some fabric next year but only for 3 quilts...one that our guild is going to do (Trip Around The World (and I hope I can use my stash for a lot of that); a Celtic one that we will do on our quilt retreat and start a quilt for granddaughter who will graduate in May 2014. Then I might need something for backings although I am going to try and piece a lot of them like you all suggest. Mostly though, I will be making scrappy quilts! Keep encouraging each other...only a few days left before we all jump on together. :-)
