I've been totally falling down on my hostess job on this thread, but it looks like you have all carried on without me!
The official end of our fabric diet is the US Black Friday, November 24. This, of course is just the suggested day
Personalization of this effort is encouraged, so you can carry on the whole year, or stop earlier.
Do we want to continue in 2018? Let me know & I'll arrange the new thread.

Don't know if anyone remembers, but I do wedding stationery & have been totally tied up doing very elaborate wedding invitations for a great niece. Lots and lots of hours. They went into the mail last week, so I have a bit of reprieve before starting the wedding paper stuff (programs, escort cards guest book, menus, table decorations, thank you cards... Sheesh!). The up side is I haven't purchased any fabric for a couple months.
I will not talk about my paper stash, however.
I did manage to make the orange blocks for my pumpkin quilt (Bonnie Hunter's Punkin' Patch). They were strip pieced and so much fun to make! I didn't paper piece them as the pattern stated, just sewed strips together. Got carried away. Needed 49 and made over 100.
