Laynak: Would love to see a picture of your "bird" quilt. Seems to me your being far to hard on yourself. I so agree about the money saving issue. All of a sudden my checking has a cushion in it. WIN, WIN! Miss Giggle: Seems to me that's an investment and falls well within the guidelines of acceptable purchases. Please show us your progress as you cut in to your fabric. Kris: According to our tome on the "Rules of the Moratorium" anything that is used to finish an existing project does not earn a demerit. Your still on the wagon. Martina: Congrats on still being on the wagon. Quilters unite on the project to control fabric purchases, at least until the next sale.
