I am definitely trying to use up what I have on hand and not purchase much more. Sometimes I am successful; sometimes, not. Lately when going to quilt shows, where there are wonderful vendors, I have resisted and only bought patterns. Good thing I am from a large family and babies are always being born - been turning out quite a few baby quilts this year. Also my MIL asked me to make lap quilts for the granddaughters for Christmas. It was fun buying the fabric for that and it was on her dollar!!!
