I tried the moratorium thing last year and promptly fell off the wagon. Now I'm just limiting myself(trying anyway). I will only buy fabric if needed for a quilt and only if a sale price is too good to pass up. I could sew for years with what I have and am going to try. But we all, occasionally, need to buy a little fabric to go with what we have. With me it's solids...black white etc. But I love fabric shopping...it soothes my soul!
