I'm going great guns with self-control . I think I've only bought 6 yards thus far this year, and 4 of it was for a specific chemo quilt. I have used or given away probably 8 yards, so I feel good. It has really helped me to think before I just go out and buy . And I kind of like the challenge of shopping my stash and using what I have . I turn it into a game to see what I can make without spending a dime.
