Welcome Sheryl to the board!
here is my update. Have been very mindful the past nine days about my fabric. Usually on Saturdays, I like to pop in at my local quilt shop. I have avoided going for two weeks in a row so that is good for not buying fabric without a purpose. I am working on a large queen size sampler quilt. There is a certain yellow gold stripe that I couldn't find a good substitute for in my stash, and I've been pondering a few days, and I decided that for the amount of work that is going in to this project, I didn't want to settle for a butterscotch plaid when I need a goldenrod stripe. So I found that one fabric online today and even though there were a lot of beautiful fabrics on sale at that shop, I only bought one yard of the gold! First new yard of the year for me.
