Change the way you quilt. Don't make the quantity of quilts that you used to, concentrate on quality. Dye your own fabric. If you only have enough of a pale colored fabric for sashing or backing and you need a dark, dye the pale colored fabric. Start doing fabric painting and making quilts out of your painted fabric. Spend more time making your fabric perfect, then spend time sewing your perfect fabric. When you buy, buy plain muslin. You can be 10 times more creative, spend 10 times as long making a quilt and spend one tenth as much money. You go through a lot of fabric making even 1 quilt per month, making more multiples the fabric you use, the money you spend. Slow down your process by using a more creative process, more labor involved process. There can be a lot more to making quilts than buying, cutting, and sewing fabrics.
