My great suggestion...
put yourself on a financial fabric budget. Use the word "don't" instead of "can't" and say I don't want to spend more than $100 per month on fabric (or whatever your budget is).
Put yourself on a fabric room budget too. I will only buy up to about half of what I use. I will use 4 yards making a baby quilt. That will allow me space to get 2 more yards... Kinda like one thing out before another comes in.
